    LAN on Mars

    There's a simple "sundial" on the Spirit rover on Mars. There's something pleasing about seeing evidence of the changing altitude of the Sun on another planet...

    And as Deimos zips by across the sky (not in the photos), imagine how much easier navigation would have been. "Lunars" there would be the obvious solution for finding longitude from the earliest times for a civilization there.
