My brother is just really damn cool

So, for anyone who was unaware, the Mars Phoenix Lander made it planetside on Sunday. This would be the project that my brother is working with NASA on. Doing legitimate work, even.

Well, in honor of the occasion (or, more likely, just because they now have material for it), the Astronomy Picture of the Day website has been posting pics relevant to said landing. And, because my brother is incredibly awesome, that means I feel totally justified in bragging about it, and thus, by proxy, him.

You may now click the links.

You have no idea how close I came to putting "Hooked on Phoenix" in the subject line of this post. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go dig more deeply into the links the site has available. Good day!

Edit: Thank you for clearing that up for me, op_longshot ^^a *fails*
