Good Red Friday morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Mars Panorama from Curiousity." MSgt Danny Hope and PVT James Strait posted this yesterday from the NASA HQ web site...I wonder if they have any thoughts on winning Powerball numbers for this weekend. The new Mars rover, Perseverance, is scheduled to launch on July 17 and land on Mars's Jezero Crater on February 18, 2021. It will search for signs of past microbial life on the red planet and collect samples for a future mission that could return them to Earth. Alexander Mather, a 7th-grade student at Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, Virginia, proposed the name "Perseverance" in a NASA contest. He will be invited to watch the new rover launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

Good R.E.D. Friday morning Maj William W. 'Bill' Price and this is a superb APOD... I saw this yesterday on a post by PVT James Strait and shared it... It is absolutely phenomenal! I have watched this both on my laptop (1600 X 900) pixels and on my side monitor which has a resolution of 1920 X 1080 Pixels or 2,073,600 pixels and this panoramic image is over 1.8 Billion- Pixels... The detail is astounding to say the least! One can easily see the dense detail of the Curiosity rover, including the left wheel (foreground) where the carbon fiber mesh in between the wheels metal frame has been damaged by the marscape... It is almost as if one were standing right on Mars! Just Awesome! Thank you for the Great share Bill & PVT James Strait...
