Not related to the Mars Webcam, directly, but cool nonetheless!

Today we went through one of those 'cosmological time alignments' that happen once in a long while... engineers just love these numbers!! It's entirely possible, of course, that the Universe didn't even notice.

Photo shows ESA Mars Express, Venus Express and Rosetta spacecraft operations team members at ESA/ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany, on 7 August 2009. Thomas Ormston, responsible for the system that uploads VMC images to this blog, is at lower right. Thanks to Carlos Zamora, summer intern, for keeping an eye on the clock, and to Bruno Sousa, Venus Express Spacecraft Operations Engineer, for a great pic!
