Cooking Soup
Welcome to Soup Week! Today's picture shows a relief kitchen in Belgium making soup. The picture is from around 1915. A lot of times we associate soup with poverty, but I will be honest with you, I really love Soup. I usually have soup for lunch a couple times a week. Understand, I am talking about real soup, not that salty water that comes in a can. The lovely Mrs. PJM has perfected a number of soup recipes over the years, and we enjoy having them throughout the week. Perhaps some of you can share your favorite soup recipes this week. https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...s.blogspot.com http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...8Sd8ZH_7U/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...8Sd8ZH_7U/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogs...~4/WX1xovv-BYk More... |

Curiosity\'s Plaque
This view of Curiosity\'s deck shows a plaque bearing several signatures of US officials, including that of President Obama and Vice President Biden. The image was taken by the rover\'s Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) during the rover\'s 44th Martian day, or sol, on Mars (Sept. 19, 2012). The plaque is located on the front left side of the rover\'s deck.
The rectangular plaque is made of anodized aluminum and measures 3.94 inches (100 millimeters) tall by 3.23 inches (82 millimeters) wide. The plaque was affixed to the rover\'s deck with four bolts. Similar plaques with signatures - including those of the sitting president and vice-president -- adorn the lander platforms for NASA\'s Spirit and Opportunity rovers, which landed on Mars in January of 2004. An image from Spirit\'s plaque can be found at: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA05034 The main purpose of Curiosity\'s MAHLI camera is to acquire close-up, high-resolution views of rocks and soil at the rover\'s Gale Crater field site. The camera is capable of focusing on any target at distances of about 0.8 inch (2.1 centimeters) to infinity, providing versatility for other uses, such as views of the rover itself from different angles.

Titan Atmosphere
The vortex, which is a mass of gas swirling around the south pole high in the moon\'s atmosphere, can be seen in the lower right of this view. The moon\'s northern hood is also visible in the top left of this view.
This view looks toward the leading hemisphere of Titan (3,200 miles, or 5,150 kilometers across). North on Titan is up and rotated 25 degrees to the left. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 6, 2012 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of near-infrared light centered at 889 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.7 million miles (2.8 million kilometers) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 86 degrees. Scale in the original image was 11 miles (17 kilometers) per pixel. The image was contrast enhanced and magnified by a factor of 1.5 to enhance the visibility of surface features. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA\'s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.
