Anyone else seeing the giant ring around the moon? I'm guessing it's from some atmospheric conditions, or maybe even just clouds? Either way, I've never noticed this before. Crappy cell phone pic, not sure why it has so much artifact around the moon itself. I'm talking about the huge ring around the outside.

I like to post before I do my research
looks like we have a small system coming through this morning
Parents told me it meant it was going to snow sometime soon..

Only person at work today so I got to watch the whole thing, good stuff. So tense waiting for it to land safely!
the telemetry was really cool - they should have kept that on the screen.
thing is going 1,000 mph and pulls the chute.
(martian atmosphere density is less than earth, also doesn't extend as high)
it had cameras to id a landing spot using AI - hopefully they push that video tonight.
also looking forward to some of the sounds.
well done.

There was another NASA site called eyes.nasa.gov that streamed the telemetry along with the computer animations of the landing in real time. It was pretty cool seeing it hit the drag of the atmosphere and going from 10-12,000mph down to a crawl after the chute came out and the thrusters kicked in just before it landed. You can go replay and watch the landing telemetry from all angles 1000 miles before landing.

I watched it live - the animation of the thrusters looked like red icicles. The whole thing reminded me of this

Well that definitely beats the computer animations, very "coolio!" LOL So awesome to be able to see that all work.
