Curiosity Spotted on Parachute by Orbiter
Comments:
WOW!<br><br>Does anyone know if this might be first time an orbiter has imaged the lander for another mission?
MRO took a similar picture of the Phoenix aeroshell on its way down:<br><br>http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/phoenix-descent.php<br><br>In this shot even the lines to the canopy are visible!
Great job NASA, but MAN would I love to have those optics in a scope of mine!<br>Just think, 210 miles away and see an object the size of a school bus,<br>I know the lander is sub SUV size, WOW<br>ADAPTIVE OPTICS and Image stabilization.<br>Looking forward to the pix.<br>Just think when we finally get there well have a Vikingberg <br>and Odysseyville...SojournerTown... any others?
You own more of those optics than NASA<br><br>Remember - they work for YOU
