Hi,
For those of us following the adventures of the MER-A,
otherwise known as the Mars Rover Spirit, and having trouble
with figuring out when its day begins and ends, or having
trouble keeping the time on Mars straight... I mean, it's bad
enough trying to figure what time it is in Europe or Iraq or
Afghanistan or Tokyo, but Mars?
Well, here is the answer to our problem! Yes, a MARS CLOCK
java applet which shows a projection of the entire surface of
Mars with the daylit area bright and the night area dim, as
well the clock time for Mars. It's unbelievably neat and can
be downloaded from the following website:
<http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/mars24/>
I quote, "Other displays include a plot showing the
relative orbital positions of Mars and Earth and a diagram
showing the solar angle for a given location on Mars."
