Want to find your Mars lander? Start by calling JPL geologist Tim Parker, who has a knack for this kind of thing. Tim also originated the "Mars Ocean" hypothesis years ago, and he directs JPL's Image Facility. Emily Lakdawalla examines the mystery of the fountains of Enceladus, while Bruce Betts announces a new space trivia contest and provides another What's Up report on the night sky while helping Mat remove some spots.
