Picking up Clues from the Discard Pile
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.

Phoenix's Workspace
This mosaic of images taken by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander's Surface Stereo
Imager shows Phoenix's workspace, informally named "Wonderland," with the major
trenches and features that have been informally named as of Sol 84 (August 19,
2008), the 84th Martian day after landing.
