	In Search of Landing Sites on Mars Planetary scientists have long been excited about the prospect of one day exploring the "grand canyon" of Mars. Valles Marineris is a chasm vastly larger than Earth's Grand Canyon that also has many layers of rock that serve as windows into the past. A corner of Valles Marineris known as Melas Chasma is one of 36 potential landing sites being considered for the next robotic wanderer to the red planet, the Mars Science Laboratory, to be launched in 2009...

	A Colorful Marriage of Old & Young Primordial and prehistoric come together in a lasting bond of something old, something new, something orange, and something blue. In this false-color image, blue signals cooler sand or dust around an ancient crater, which dates back to a violent time of cataclysmic collisions about 4 billion years ago, shortly after Mars formed. Later, sheets of lava streamed across the surface and lapped against the crater walls... Keywords: Martian Terrain; What -- Crater; What -- Mars
	Selecting the Next Off-Road Tour of Mars Because Earthlings only get one chance every 26 months to send a spacecraft to Mars, it's important to make the most of every opportunity and to get there safely. Scientists and engineers are in the process of selecting five finalists from 36 proposed landing sites for NASA's next Mars rover, in the Mars Science Laboratory mission. Finding the right landing site is a little like a treasure hunt, using a variety of clues from the Mars Odyssey and other orbiters... Keywords: Martian Terrain; What -- Mars; What -- Opportunity
