>> [cheering] >> we are wheels down on mars. >> by the time they relayed the information curiosity had been on mars for seven minutes. look at the mix of triumph, relief and then unbridled joy as curiosity sent back the first images of the surface. thumbnails as they call them from each corner of the rover showing how sits and how it fares. it is the best possible outcome sharing this experience which is one reason why they came to watch at nasa aimes tonight. >> in a sometimes cynical, sometimes idealistic world it took an attempted landing on a different one, mars, to bring all of these people back to the aimes research center. >> this is eight and a half months of waiting at the end of a long mission. >> there are not too many mars landings in my lifetime, so i am glad to see one. >> it took the curiosity rover from space to the surface of

mars. from an entry feet of 13 kilometers per second to 0 in ser harrowing minutes. a one-ton rover lowered to the red planet under an untested rock pet power landing device, the most ambitious landing attempt on an alien world since neil armstrong and apolo 11. >> they have to do a punch of things at improper times and improper places that you have to gauge what is on the surface below you. you have to gauge your elevation and you have to make decision based on what is the best place for landing jie. we are talking about a system that is adaptable. it will adapt to changes. >> yes. it is uh president ad together environment this is residing. >> to roam in an ancient crater and then climb a mountain in the middle, reading a geological history of mars while evaluating layers of sediment. curiosity mott so much looking for -- not so much looking for signs of life, but evidence that life once existed there.

this mission is about carbon and organic molecules. they are searching for the building blocks of life. >> but they will not be looking for the building blocks immediately. it will be several days for engineers to check the system on curiosity to make sure everything is functioning smoothly before they send it on the expaw business. expedition. curiosity is in good shape. but there will be a press conference from jpl hopefully with more details. this has been a major scientific feet. it is a landing for the ages and one that may help answer some questions of the ages. live at nasa ames, wayne freed map, abc news. wayne freedman,abc news. now to thomas roman who is live at the space and science center in oakland who closed down for the night just minutes ago. thomas? >> that's right. it was a standing room only crowd here at the center. people who were leaving now are all leaving with smiles on

their faces. the news that rover curiosity landed successfully was greeted with cheers by mass saw and the science center crowd and their young. >> the space and science museum attracted a huge crowd. christopher bell who wants to be an astronomer said what curiosity would find once it starts its survey of the red planet. >> i think they might find cc life, you know, germ bacteria. >> you don't think there is smart life on mars? >> not smart life. >> he came to experience not only the rover landing, but also how craters are formed on the planet. they drop ball bearings on a

surface like mars. for 12-year-old mckenna connors, sign yens reaching across the space to deposit a car on mars was -- >> well, you are thousands of billions of miles away from where this machine is doing its work, and you are able to control it. >> nasa says there was no margin pour air with curiosity. that's what concerned allison martin. >> i hope it goes well and they find out a lot about mars, like if there was life on -- if there was ever life, maybe if there is life now. >> and if there is life now, allison wonders how they might see us. >> we might call them aliens, but they may call us aliens. >> especially if we are landing on their planet. >> the one thing they shared was a moment of history they may never forget. thomas roman, abc news. >> thank you, thomas. now to get to the surface of

mars curiosity had to survive entry into the atmosphere, and thanks to some bay area workers it did. scientists at nasa aimes research center in mountain view worked on a heat shield. it was made to withstand temperatures up to 4,000 degrees fahrenheit. it is almost half of the temperature of the surface of the sun. a job well done. now stay tuned. for continuing coverage on the mission to mars, we will have the latest tomorrow and you can keep up with the mars mission on abc7news.com as well as on twitter and our pages. now to that deadly shooting at a sikh temple in wisconsin. they are treating it as a domestic terrorism case. they were gathering for sunday's service when a man walked into the temple and started shooting. the gunman took the lives of six people before being killed by a police officer. that officer was with threeong with three others. >> this is a big tragedy for our church.

temple with about 10,000 members. police have stepped up patrols in the area. but the leadership says while they appreciate such efforts this is not the time to live in fear jie. it teaches us not to be afraid of ings like this. things like this. there is no need to panic. >> they have had extra police patrols as well. here members held a special service in honor of the shooting victims. many have been wonder figure what happened in wisconsin was the result of confusion over the religion. since 9/11 members of the seas faith have been mistaken for muslims. >> it is unfortunate we are having no say in the turmoil of the world. we are targeted because of that. >> it has its roots in india and not the middle east. it is also the world's fifth largest religion. >> we are not a shoot off of any religion. >> as much as it may have rattled the members of the

community, it goes beyond their faith. >> i am hoping with focus on gun control and thesish issues we can help these things. it is sad our kids have to grow up in a world where they randomly -- where they worry about people randomly dying. >> in san jose, lilian kim, abc news. >> thank you, lilian. death on a speedway in pennsylvania as lightning strikes a group of race fans. on the right of your screen you can see flashes of lightning into the pocono race way this afternoon. a 41-year-old man from pennsylvania died. another victim is in critical condition and eight other people were sent to the hospital. just ahead, a scary day for a ride. and a controversial pet program getting ready to kick off. >> and get ready for a hot

the excess for free? i'm michael finney. 7 on your side is coming up. >> and hi, everyone. i'm leigh glaser. if you are doing traveling back east tomorrow we will look at some travel destinations for you. and a look at our accu-weather seven-day forecast of the. >> and don't forget to stay ñ/&ñfñ!ñx for a special

well, more than 60,000 customers now 1r* rooftop

solar panels that supply electricity to their homes and businesses as well as pg&e and the power grid. one homeowner says he is giving away too much power for free. michael finney has that story. >> the reason i tbot -- i got them was because of the pitch they have on going green number one. >> 92-year-old harry is talking about the solar panels he installed on the roof of his home. 18 in all. they get so much sunshine around here harry is often generating more electricity than he uses. >> i like a little of the independence. >> he does get independent. on this summer day you can see him running the meter backwards. he is sending electricity to the pg&e power grid instead of taking it off the grid. harry received a $94 credit for his electric bill for june alone. it all seemed terrific. that is until harry received his year-end electric

statement from pg&e. >> it doesn't seem fair to me. they are taking what i generate and selling it someplace else. >> here is why he is upset. it is harry's annual true up statement that tells him how much electricity he generated and how much he used during the 12 previous months. it shows he used more power during the winter months than he supplied while in the summer he put out more electric -- electric priss teee. all totaled up he generated 310 more kilowatts than he used over the course of a year. he ended up with a credit of $279.98. however, harry found out he won't get that $279. and he won't get the credit either. what he will get is $10.35. >> we come to the end of the year and i am shown with a $200 plus credit, and i get $10 and something for it. where is all of the rest of it going?

>> harry called seven on your side, and we checked into exactly what happened to his credit. >> the program is not designed to help customers make money. it is designed to help customers reduce their electric bill. >> that's lyndsay. she points out the solar power rules are guided by a 1995 state law. here it is. public utilities code 2827. it created what is called the net energy metering. it lets the homeowners receive credit on their electric -- electricity bills they send to the grid. if they use more than they generate they must pay more. if they supply more energy than they use, their credit is wiped out. no rolling over. it is just gone. >> once a year their bill is reconciled in what we call a true up. what we mean is any outstanding charges owed and

any remaining credit is zeroed out. >> harry says it doesn't seem fair he gave away his extra energy to the power company. however, pg&e says the law intended only to let homeowners generate as much power as they use, not to become mini power plants. >> under the net metering legislation customers are required to size their systems to the annual usage. >> the puc declined an on camera interview for this story and referred us back to pg&e saying it is their customer and their issue. the california energy commission says it lacks jurisdiction over the net energy metering program. so harry is left without a credit, though he did get that $10.35. so why that amount? turns out other homeowners complained about giving away the surplus. now a new state law does provide a small payment to homeowners for their extra energy.

it is paid in a wholesale rate set by the state puc. that rate is now about $.03 cents per kilowatt hour. consumersconsumers are not intitled to be paid the full rate for their surplus electricity under the law. harry had a hard time, so we showed it to him, but still didn't make him happy. >> don't say i have a credit and tell me i don't have a credit. >> harry is upset because pg&e charges him $12 a month for electric tries distribution and public subsidees. he thought the fees were included in his credit. we reported that to the state puc, and they have agreed to investigate. we'll get back to you on that. and we will be talking to a state lawmaker who wants solar power customers to get paid more for their surplus electricity. we'll get back to you with that too. michael finney, 7 on your side. let's go now to meteorologist leigh glaser. we have plenty of sun to power

the solar panels today. >> we will need extra energy as we work toward the latter part of the work group. we will need the air conditioning. palm springs 111 degrees expected there. it is going to be hot in the central valley. fresno 102. 97 for sacramento. mild in comparison, lake tahoe tomorrow with plenty of sunshine, 81 degrees. quickly, live doppler 7hd picking up pretty heavy thunderstorms through new york city and back toward philadelphia, baltimore. i'm showing this to you because this line is going to intensity overnight, and really start to smack the east coast by tomorrow morning. if you have travel plans, washington, d.c. down toward atlanta, as you can see, you could run into some summer thunderstorms that could delay some flights of the 84 for atlanta tomorrow. it will be hot in dallas, 101. 112 in phoenix. 94 for denver. they will see some sunshine. around here, a mild day.
