The Surface Stereo Imager on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander took this anaglyph on Oct. 21, 2008; the trench on the upper left is called 'Upper Cupboard.' 3-D glasses are necessary to view this image.
This anaglyph was taken by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander's Surface Stereo Imager Oct. 7, 2008. The anaglyph highlights the depth of the trench, informally named 'La Mancha,' and reveals the ice layer beneath the soil surface. 3-D glasses are necessary.
As NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander excavates trenches, it also builds piles with most of the material scooped from the holes. The piles, like this one called 'Caterpillar,' provide researchers some information about the soil. 3D glasses are necessary.
This anaglyph was acquired by NASA's Phoenix Lander; in the bottom left is a trench dug by Phoenix's Robotic Arm. In the bottom right is one of Phoenix's two solar panels. You will need 3-D glasses to view this image.
This anaglyph, acquired by NASA's Phoenix Lander's Surface Stereo Imager on June 8, 2008, shows a stereoscopic 3D view of the Martian surface near the lander. 3D glasses are necessary.
This anaglyph, acquired by NASA's Phoenix Lander on Jun. 15, 2008, shows the largest rock informally called 'Midgard.' 3D glasses are necessary to view this image.
This anaglyph, acquired by NASA's Phoenix Lander on Jun. 26, 2008, shows a stereoscopic 3D view of the Martian surface near the lander. 3D glasses are necessary to view this image.
This anaglyph image, acquired by NASAÂ’s Phoenix LanderÂ’s Surface Stereo Imager on June 1, 2008, shows a stereoscopic 3D view of the so-called 'Knave of Hearts' first-dig test area to the north of the lander. 3D glasses are necessary to view this image.
This image shows how NASA's three-legged Phoenix Mars Lander is able to get a better look at its footing and the physical characteristics of the underlying soil on the surface of the Red Planet.
Mars Panorama of Phoenix Landing Site and Lander Deck
This view combines hundreds of images taken during the first several weeks after NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander arrived on an arctic plain on Mars. The landing was on May 25, 2008.
This frame from a sequence of nine images taken by the Surface Stereo Imager on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander shows the sun rising on the morning of the lander's 101st Martian day after landing.
NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander took this anaglyph on Oct. 21, 2008; the trench on the upper left is called 'Dodo-Goldilocks.' 3-D glasses are necessary to view this image.
Phoenix Lander on Mars with Surrounding Terrain, Polar Projection
This view is a polar projection that combines more than 500 exposures taken by the Surface Stereo Imager camera on NASA's Mars Phoenix Lander and projects them as if looking down from above.
This image was acquired by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander's Surface Stereo Imager (SSI) in the late afternoon of the 30th Martian day of the mission, or Sol 30 (June 25, 2008). This is hours after the beginning of Martian northern summer.
This anaglyph, acquired by NASA's Phoenix Lander on Jun. 19, 2008, shows a stereoscopic 3D view of the Martian surface near the lander. 3D glasses are necessary to view this image.
This anaglyph, acquired by NASA's Phoenix Lander on Jun. 7, 2008, shows a stereoscopic 3D view of the Martian surface near the lander. 3D glasses are necessary to view this image.
Digging by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander on Aug. 23, 2008, reached a depth about three times greater than in any trench Phoenix has excavated. 3D glasses are necessary.
This anaglyph, acquired by NASA's Phoenix Lander's show Phoenix's solar panel is seen in the bottom right corner of the image. 3D glasses are necessary to view this image.
This colorglyph, acquired by NASA's Phoenix Lander's Surface Stereo Imager shows part of Phoenix's workplace and is informally called 'Wonderland.' 3D glasses are necessary to view this image.
Two Holes from Using Rasp in 'Snow White' (Stereo)
This view from NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander shows a portion of the trench informally named 'Snow White,' with two holes near the top of the image. 3D glasses are necessary to view this image.
The Surface Stereo Imager onboard NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander captures a scene with three different filters. The images are sent to Earth in black and white and the color is added by mission scientists.
This color image was acquired by the Surface Stereo Imager on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander on the 21st day of the mission, or Sol 20 (June 15, 2008). It shows lumps of ice in the lower left corner of a trench nicknamed 'Dodo-Goldilocks.'
This images from a sequence of images that combines 32 images of clouds moving eastward across a Martian horizon. The Surface Stereo Imager on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander took this set of images on Sept. 18, 2008,
The Surface Stereo Imager on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander caught this dust devil in action west of the lander on Sol 104, or the 104th Martian day of the mission, Sept. 9, 2008.
