HoustonChronicle.com - First photos arrive from Mars: "'We got lucky. We landed in the sweet spot,' said Steve Squyres, the Cornell University astronomer who leads Spirit's science team. 'We see enough rocks to do great science, but not so many they will get in the way. We are going to be able to really motor around the place.'

Scientists expected Spirit to transmit its first color images late today."
