New App Will Send Latest Photos From Mars

NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity may still be months away from making its landing, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait until August to see something cool happen on the red planet. Let’s not forget that Opportunity is still up there and with a new app, you can receive pictures from the rover faster than we could ever report them to you.
According to Wired, the Mars Image App was developed by Mark Powell from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and will send you photos of its endeavors as soon as it down links them. The app is free for iPhone/iPad and Androids. Wired reports that a second app will be launched when Curiosity lands later this year as well.
Just this week, the course for Curiosity was adjusted in a three-hour maneuver, putting it on track toward Mars.
“We’re a big step closer to our entry point at the Martian atmosphere,” said Arthur Amador of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The course correction is the most important task Curiosity will perform during its 352-million-mile trip to Mars, but it’s not unprecedented. Previous robotic explorers have had to adjust their paths several times en route to landing.
So far, Curiosity has traveled more than 80 million miles at 10,200 mph. If Curiosity did not tweak its route this week or make the second, smaller adjustment scheduled for March, it would miss Mars altogether because it was initially not aimed at the planet. Engineers did this by design to prevent the upper stage of the rocket that launched the spacecraft from hitting Mars.

  Just think about it, in one 1/16th by 1/16th size picture of space, astronomers found 3000 galaxies!  Think about the awesomeness of Creator God the next time you look at the night sky! 
  Job 38:19-20, 31-33,  This is Creator God asking Job, you and I a few questions...
"What is the path to light's home,
and where does darkness live?
  Can you take them to their places?
Do you know the way to their homes?  Can you tie up the stars of the Pleiades
or loosen the ropes of the stars in Orion?
  Can you bring out the stars on time
or lead out the stars of the Bear with its cubs?
  Do you know the laws of the sky
and understand their rule over the earth?"
