APOD 3.3

The above image is a panorama taken on mars by the Opportunity. This rover has managed to survive for much longer than expected, it landed in 2004, with a life of three months, but is still functioning.

The image is a digital panorama, and thus, rather than ultra wide screen lense, is taken by getting multiple pictures and stitching them together, like many cell phone do, albeit, by professionals with much higher quality.

Additionally, the image has also been recolored to appear how a normal human would perceive it.

Apod 3.6

The image above is from the martian moon Phobos. It is the crater called Stickney Crater, and is a whole 9 kilometers across. That's half of the diameter of the moon, so the impact most likely came close to shattering the small moon.  While the gravity of this moon is very low, it does slowly pull rocks, gravel, and other debris down. However, raw material from the inner moon is still visible.  Named after Chloe Angeline Stickney Hall.

This image was taken by the Hubble. About 200 thousand light years away, is this star cluster, NGC 602.

It is about 5 million year old star cluster, which is quite young is astronomical senses.

Many other galaxies are visible in the background.
