MarsPhoenix: Brrr! Postcards from Mars show a frosty Phoenix on the north polar plains during Martian winter http://bit.ly/2kCuf4 *waves*
MarsPhoenix: @NegativeK Seasons last roughly 2x as long as on Earth. Mars axial tilt is slightly greater than Earth's while orbit is far more elliptical.
MarsPhoenix: @elpalabrista Nosotros tambien :)
MarsPhoenix: Spring has sprung in the north hemi of Mars! Team is waiting for longer daylight hours, around mid-Jan., to "listen" for our lander.
MarsPhoenix: @Chaoticwhizz Only new content being posted now. Old content was used on May 25 to commemorate landing anniversary.
MarsPhoenix: 1st day of Martian spring (north hemi) is Oct 26. The team will wait til January (& longer sunlight hours) before attempting contact.
MarsPhoenix: More Mars ICE!! Congrats to NASA's Mars Recon Orbiter teams for spying ice in new craters b4 it sublimated. Story: http://bit.ly/1zBzoJ
MarsPhoenix: @martinsuchan The team will attempt to contact Phoenix once spring returns to the northern hemisphere. Spring starts Oct 27.
MarsPhoenix: @PlanetaryTV Nothing new from Phoenix at this time. We'll attempt to contact the lander in October (approx) when spring begins.
MarsPhoenix: @gdgtfreak Dormant on the surface of Mars, yes. But loads of good science still being discerned from the data Ireturned.
MarsPhoenix: RT @MarsRovers: 1 hour til start of live vidchat w/ rover team working to free Spirit. Join w/ your questions 6p EDT http://ustre.am/25IX
MarsPhoenix: A warmer, wetter Mars? Peer-reviewed science from my mission, published 2day, points to Martian climate cycles. Read: http://bit.ly/11JTjk
MarsPhoenix: @BekahLouTaylor Yes, Curiosity is on as @marssciencelab.
MarsPhoenix: @DavidWheelerPhD Here's the full view of Phoenix from HiRise. You can download JPG or TIFF: http://bit.ly/32mQe
MarsPhoenix: @vmbstudios No, but the angle makes it look that way. I was flying 20 kilometers in front of the crater & went right by it.
