Space learning always fascinates me.

Phoenix has landed successfully on MARS deploying its parachute on the North Pole region (which is same as Northern Canada region on Earth).  US $420 million project spacecraft will try to find  micro life if ever existed on Mars.

Watch the videos here

Phoenix will dig into the ice upto 1 meter to find any life if they have ever lived. It will also study the MARS atmosphere.

Some of the first information is relayed from Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex in Australia, it also played active part in Apollo 11 Mission. I have visited this center and quiet amazed.
