The reddish-beige sky was clear, temperatures reached a high of –30 degrees and a low of –80, and winds were out of the northeast at 20 kilometres an hour.
A Canadian weather station on board the U.S. Phoenix probe made history Tuesday with its first report from the Martian arctic. The $37-million station was activated within an hour of the landing on Sunday evening, but the information wasn't relayed to an orbiting satellite and then back to Earth until Monday night."
