7 to 8:30 a.m.: Sharing the science ... and keeping a secret
While Opportunity is winding up its workday, Spirit is sitting on the rim of a crater half a world away, awaiting its wakeup call. Back on Earth, Spirit will be the star of the weekly news briefing at JPL, so three hours in advance, scientists and mission planners gather in a conference room in Building 264 to hash over what they'll say — and what they won't say.

The six panelists will talk about Spirit's arrival at Bonneville crater the night before, after almost a month of zigzagging travel. They'll release pictures of Earth as seen from Mars, solar eclipses and sky streaks, all courtesy of Spirit. They'll also provide an update on Opportunity's activities — but the biggest news from Meridiani Planum will have to remain a secret.

They were made in collaboration with Arizona State (so was Google Mars)!

It's not like you to like anything from Arizona, let alone from ASU!
