They sent a couple of pictures back from the landing. Really cool. However, it's shutting down for the night. Missions and exploration will commence tomorrow.

In honor of the landing, being the nerd I am, I flew the Phoenix Lander to Mars using the Orbiter spaceflight sim. Here's some pics I shot of the mission.
         I love Orbiter.
