Spirit beams images of success

PASADENA, Calif. -- Like a giddy tourist, NASA's Spirit rover snapped picture after picture on Sunday, each revealing a little more of Mars' rock-strewn alien surroundings.

Though black and white, the earliest pictures revealed level vistas in every direction. Small, angular rocks peppered the landscape, none too large for Spirit to maneuver around or over when it goes on the prowl early next week.

The first color imagery was expected early today -- but even in black and white, Mars seemed full of intrigue.
