Description
Phoenix Mars Mission from NASA created a Mars Weather Widget available for Windows and Mac:
http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/screen.php
But not for Linux. It would be nice having a extraterrestrial location in Weather Applet options and/or to adapt NASA's Widget to Ubuntu.

Eldmannen, you are missing the point here.
Who cares how useful this is. It's very cool!
Linux users have been screwed yet again

I totally agree with this proposal.
The best workaround I've found so far is to add a Weather Report applet to one of the GNOME panels (right-click top or bottom panel > Add to Panel > Weather Report), for Location, select any available city on Earth (just as a placeholder, though I use MARSeille :-) and then in Preferences > General, Enable Radar Map and Use custom address for radar map, with the Address of a graphical version of the Mars weather report, e.g. http://150.135.111.162/weather/images/weather_image.png (image source page: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/marsweather/ ).
It would be great to have a more elegant and nicer-looking solution.
Perhaps add Mars > Phoenix Lander as a legitimate Location in the Weather Report applet? Just one option.
