In case anyone hasn't bookmarked it; here's the official webpage for the
incoming Phoenix imagery:

BTW, did the landing gear incorporate coiled springs for shock
absorption?: http://fawkes4.lpl.arizona.edu/images.php?gID=507&cID=8

They are going to have a hard time naming any features at this landing

The science team has started naming the rocks, drawing from fairy tales
and folk legends. One Humpty-Dumpty-inspired rock was named ³Kingıs
Men,² and another ³Kingıs Horses.² One otrough was named ³Sleepy
Hollow,² so two nearby rocks are now ³Ichabod² after Ichabod Crane, the
main character of the story, and ³Headless,² the headless horseman who
pursues Ichabod.
