The lander is expected to function for about 90 days with energy generated by the solar panels.

Why is this the case? I would think that Solar Panels would provide power as long as they functioned...

“Phoenix is on a three month mission.” Of course, the last two three month mission to Mars are still working and returning data so, we’ll see how long this one lasts. Of course, since Phoenix is near Mar’s North Pole and is solar powered, it will be out of commission when the sun goes down for a few months. But, when the sun comes up again, hopefully Phoenix will be able to re-power itself.

Interesting geometric patterns in the landscape. Wonder what they reveal?

The ground shot looks like a minor league infield.
