Mars Rover Seen from Orbit

This very cool picture from the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the Opportunity rover near the rim of the Victoria crater. That little dark thing sticking down to the right at about the 4:30 position from the rover is the shadow cast by the camera mast of the rover. For the full picture and more details, go here.
