Default Mars - the planet, not the choccy bar

Saw an app advertised on the Smithsonian TV channel last night and downloaded it. Has loads of good stuff if you're interested in Mars exploration. One of the features lets you 'virtually' drive a Mars rover - great fun! Search for 'Mission to Mars AR' on Google Play or the Apple App store.

NASA's Perseverance rover is due to crash (sorry, land) on the planet at approximately 20:43 tonight.

For information on Mars, and therefore comparisons to Earth try this
https://www.universetoday.com/22603/...ared-to-earth/

...........but then again, it all changed when they introduced the fun size!

Very excitable bunch the Americans, all that clapping. Would be funny if in the first picture was an alien looking in 🤣
