The University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory just released high-resolution images of the surface of Mars taken from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Tufts chemistry professor Sam Kounaves is in Tucson, at the University of Arizona, doing close-up research on the soil that makes up that surface from NASA’s Phoenix lander mission last year. Kounaves wet-chemical analysis found the soil on the Red Planet shared many characteristics with soil on earth.

Hello Brendan,
I am the outreach coordinator for NASA Images. NASA Images (www.nasaimages.org) is the largest collection of NASA media (still images, video & audio) available from a single, searchable site. NASA has a Space Act Agreement with The Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, to develop NASAimages.org.
NASA Images has an extensive collection of media available for download high-resolution, you might be interested. If you ever wanted to link to the site, write about, or implement NASA Images in any way, we would be thrilled and would help you in any way needed. Thank you, and don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or ideas
