Tons of new Mars Data

Posted by timothy on from the don't-worry-it's-on-freenet dept.

Bamf writes "In the past few days a lot of brand new Mars data was released. The Mars Global Surveyor Camera released 11,664 new images (123,800 released to date), and the THEMIS instrument aboard Odyssey released 8,761 new infrared and visible light images (20,010 released to date). For the short attention span crowd, there's new captioned images here and here. Last month, every superhero's favorite instrument, the Gamma Ray Spectrometer, released element maps of iron, potassium, thorium and silicon, as well as a map of polar hydrogen."
