The entire community of “astrophiles” (did I just coin a word?) is watching the Phoenix Lander’s activities on Mars. It’s so exciting to think that images from ANOTHER PLANET are being beamed back so clearly.

I realize that many people aren’t as into the wonders of science as I am, but even if you have a passing interest, you can surely appreciate the adventures of Steve the Cat, the first cat on Mars! The Phoenix Mission is being conducted by Steve and his adventures and observations on Mars are a fun way to keep up with the Mission’s findings. Kids (and adults) can send questions and comments to Steve who replies all the way from Mars.

You can find the above video and all the info on Steve the Cat on Steve’s website, which is maintained by ground control at NASA.
