Meanwhile, 150,000,000 miles from home...

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter managed to capture an image of Curiosity descending to the Martian surface under its parachute. Both the delivery and this photo are just amazing.



(Kudos to whoever drew the box around Curiosity and its parachute! I'm sure I never would have found them otherwise.)

Seriously, an impressive achievement! Congratulations to all involved!
