This has been a big week for Mars with the new NASA discovery of flowing water on the red planet, and the release of a blockbuster movie " The Martian " based on the New York Times best seller of the same name by Andy Weir and starring Matt Damon. An excellent book by the way! So, this is a good time to remind everyone that Google Earth also can portray Mars just like it does for the Earth. Mars in Google Earth has a fantastic archive of data from NASA (and other sources) from orbital imaging platforms, and Mars landers including 3D terrain, global imagery, high resolution orbital imagery, lander photos, and even lander 360 panoramas. The lander locations and tracks can be viewed, as well as their last known positions. Most of the data is current showing even the latest position of Curiosity and Opportunity. Mars for Google Earth only works in the desktop application (not on Google Earth for mobile).

To get started, you simply look for the little planet icon at the top center of Google Earth and click on it for a list of options including Mars (you'll see there are also versions for Sky and Moon). Click on Mars, and the Earth globe will turn into Mars. Mars was released in February 2009 (see original Mars review).

See below for my original video review of what Mars for Google Earth is really like:

You can spend hours exploring Mars and the layers Google created to explore the data from the various landers and orbiters. I especially enjoy the panoramas by Opportunity and Curiosity. An important tip if you want to explore the panoramas is that you might need to expand the time slider selectors that appear in the upper left so they show the full time span. Otherwise the panoramas may load up invisible until you find the time when it was taken.

And here's a cool trick even long-time users of Google Earth might not have discovered. Fans know that Google Earth has a built-in flight simulator ( read more), well you can also use the flight simulator on Mars! Kind a fun to fly around the crater at the top of Mons Olympus, or through the huge canyon of Valleris Maneris. Just look for the menu choice "View->Flight Simulator". I recommend the F-16 for faster flying. You'll need to learn the flight simulator a bit to fly well. Here's a view of flying on Mars.

I'm planning to see the movie this weekend. Can't wait to see it!

Spoiler Alert! Here's the complicated math problems Mark Watney has to solve, to survive in "The Martian."

Credit: by Karl Tate, Infographics Artist

The Ares III mission was supposed to last 31 sols (a sol is a 24.5-hour Martian day). Just to be safe, NASA sent 68 sols' worth of food, for six people. For Watney alone, that will last 300 sols, extended to 400 if he rations.

Watney needs 1,500 calories every day. He has 400 sols' supply of food already. So how many calories does Watney need to generate per day during the entire time period to stay alive for 1,400 days total?

Fortunately, Watney has a supply of potatoes. He can use his own feces as fertilizer on the sterile Martian soil, to grow the vegetables.

Soil needs 0.3 gallons of water per cubic foot (40 liters per cubic meter). Watney needs a total of 163.26 gallons (618 liters) of water. The Hab has only 79.25 gallons (300 liters) available.

Water can be manufactured by burning hydrogen and oxygen.

Watney only has about half the oxygen he would need to make enough water. How to make more oxygen?

The abandoned descent stage from the Ares III Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) includes machinery to create oxygen from the Martian atmosphere. Watney can make oxygen, but he still needs hydrogen.

Hydrogen can be manufactured by burning hydrazine rocket fuel. The problem is that hydrazine is highly flammable.

Watney's answer: By burning the remaining 77 gallons (292 liters) of fuel left in the MAV, Watney can make enough hydrogen and oxygen to manufacture enough water to grow enough potatoes to stay alive.

A newly released video, created by stitching together images taken by a veteran Mars spacecraft, provides a richly detailed, three-dimensional view of the Red Planet.

The European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft has orbited the Red Planet nearly 12,000 times, capturing images of Martian valleys, canyons and lava flows that have provided unprecedented views of planet's terrain. Researchers pieced together the individual images into a video that shows a eye-popping video of Mars in 3D.

"For the first time, we can see Mars spatially - in three dimensions," Ralf Jaumann, project manager for the Mars Express mission at the German Aerospace Center, said in a statement.

Mars Express has covered 37 million square miles (97 million square kilometers) of Mars' surface (out of 56 million square miles or 145 million square kilometers) in high resolution. Researchers around the world combine data from Mars Express with other NASA missions at the Red Planet, to better understand the foreign world.

"This has enabled the creation of the most comprehensive data set that has ever been acquired by a German instrument designed to study our solar system," Jaumann said.

Nine light-sensitive detectors aboard Mars Express sweep across the surface of the planet, capturing images in sequence from nine different angles. This data is then processed into three-dimensional images by planetary researchers at the German Aerospace Center.

"We can see the entire topography almost as well as if we were standing on Mars ourselves," Jaumann said.

Researchers can use these topographical maps to study volcanism on Mars, including some of the planet's shield volcanoes in the Tharsis region that were still active just a few million years ago.

Mars Express was launched toward the Red Planet 10 years ago, on June 2, 2003. The spacecraft arrived at Mars six-and-a-half months later, and has maintained its Martian orbit ever since. The mission, which was originally planned to last for about two years (or one Martian year), is now expected to continue operating until the end of 2014.
