Title:
Half Dome Rock on Mars
Explanation:
Who ordered the Martian pizza? As Mars Pathfinder [ http://mpfwww.jpl.n…] and its mobile robot Sojourner [ http://mpfwww.jpl.n…] continue to explore [ http://mars.sgi.com…] Mars [ http://www.seds.org…], new and interesting rocks are being discovered, even though the primary mission [ http://www.jpl.nasa…] has been successfully completed. The rock [ http://eis.jpl.nasa…] pictured above [ http://mpfwww.jpl.n…] has been dubbed "Half Dome" and was visited by Sojourner in late August. The shape and fine-scale textures of Half Dome are still being studied. As part of the extended mission, Sojourner [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] has been sent on its longest journey yet [ http://www.jpl.nasa…] - a 50 meter stroll around the Sagan Memorial Station [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…].
