Comment on this resource
Mars Pathfinder/Global Surveyor Picturebook is a Windows to the Universe Exploratour and provides information and images about the Martian landscape, the Rover, soils of Mars, dunes and wind, rocks, pebbles, clouds, sunsets, people involved with the Mission, and Martian geology. Windows to the Universe is a user-friendly learning system pertaining to the Earth and Space sciences. The objective of this project is to develop an innovative and engaging web site that spans the Earth and Space sciences and includes a rich array of documents, including images, movies, animations, and data sets that explore the Earth and Space sciences and the historical and cultural ties between science, exploration and the human experience. Links at the top of each page allow users to navigate between beginner, intermediate, and advanced options for each topic level.
