Spirit's First Colour Photo of Mars
Written by Fraser Cain
Well, here it is, the picture we've all been waiting for - the first colour image from the surface of Mars taken by Spirit. I can't believe the resolution this rover has. I've taken a big chunk of the image and processed it to be a 1280 x 1024 wallpaper. To set this image as your desktop wallpaper, click the following link, and then right-click anywhere in the image and select "Set as Wallpaper".

If you want to access the original, high-resolution image from NASA, click here instead. I'll warn you, though, it's more than 4 MB… and that's just the medium resolution version.
Enjoy!
