Martian Cartography

Here is a 360° panorama captured by Curiosity at her current location, with North at center and South at both ends, on top of two large and small scale maps with her position.

There are many geological features in the panorama, can you find them in the maps?

Hawai'i News

Another telescope controversy is brewing, this time on #Maui

The U.S. Air Force wants to build seven more telescopes on the summit of #Haleakala to help better track the growing number of objects whizzing about in #space.

But the proposal, unveiled in public meetings on Maui for the first time last week, ran into a buzz saw of resistance similar to the ongoing opposition to the planned Thirty Meter Telescope on #Maunakea.
