Here is a roundup of links regarding the successful landing on Mars of the NASA Phoenix Mars Lander.

First of all there are several pictures taken of the lander taken from Mars orbit by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) [now THAT is a mouthfull].

Here is one of the Lander with its solar panels extended on the surface.

And this one is remarkable, the HiRISE satellite captured the Lander during decent!

This is remarkable.  Stop and think for a moment.  We have four eight probes looking at Mars at one time.  Scientists are experiencing a golden age of Martian exploration right now.
