- FasmTrout, on 08/02/2008, -0/+8So, so awesome. I love any and all Martian photography.
- WoollyMittens, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5You were expecting trees and Taco Bell?
- darkfate, on 08/02/2008, -2/+6Awesome. Brown and Red like every other picture. At least it looks very serene though.
- Eifandil, on 08/02/2008, -1/+5..You win this round, you son of a bitch.
- netneutrality, on 08/02/2008, -0/+4According to this earlier NASA image, it's Phoenix's "backshell":

You can see it in this aerial view too:

(click full size) - bushnoh, on 08/02/2008, -0/+4try full size.
- inactive, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3rl LOL
- P4Paarth, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3Take a look at our future home, mates.
- Haecceity, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2Needs a guy crawling on his hands and knees, croaking "Water, water!"
- tatjana77, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2Does anyone know why it took tons of images to make this one? I guess it's hard to see the panoramic element on my monitor. Anyway, it looks sort of like a tourist's photograph of the desert. Except, it's another PLANET.
- Jakerzon, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2Fantastic imagery! I love how the craft has a miniature USA flag on it. Just in case someone up there was wondering where it came from. :)
- sgvprelude, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2Looks like my Arizona to me
- finn, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1wth, my condo's been demolished, never going to use that home-sitter again, sheesh
- greggerm, on 08/02/2008, -1/+2Could be a larger stone with it's face angled to reflect light. ... or it very well could be a parachute or re-entry portion of the lander as you mention.
- shank2001, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1You just dont get it
- readacook, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1I was about to post about how these NASA images kind of bore me, but being able to see the surface of Mars this well is pretty damn cool.
- ertz, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1anyone noticed the ice near the lower-right corner?
- JackHoffman, on 08/03/2008, -0/+1Here is the Quicktime VR:

But conspiracy theorists, as they do, will always search for a less-likely explanation... - ChristBehemoth, on 08/02/2008, -2/+3http://twitter.com/MarsPhoenix on Twitter

- JorgeGT, on 08/02/2008, -1/+1The tinfoil hat of a martian!
/Not really. I vote for the reflecting rock - inactive, on 08/02/2008, -1/+1That's nothing. Would you like to see a picture of Uranus?
- Eifandil, on 08/02/2008, -2/+2It's just...flat and rigid. Nothing to see for..any distance. Freshman girl flat.
- norinme, on 08/02/2008, -0/+0rocks rock
- inactive, on 08/02/2008, -0/+0You know what I'm talking about!!!
- shank2001, on 08/02/2008, -1/+1They calibrate the colors... the info you seek is all over the internet. This pic is a true color image.
- Zeonick, on 08/02/2008, -3/+3Can we please actually send someone to Mars? I feel like we'd get a lot more accomplished.
- hotvision, on 08/03/2008, -0/+0anyone else notice those little green people playing soccer?
- inactive, on 08/02/2008, -3/+2CS3's photomerge would've matched it better (see the mismatch of exposures on the bottom-right-hand side of the panels)
- Chronoped, on 08/02/2008, -4/+3NASA you've given us Mars pictures with the wrong colors before. How do we know these are the right ones and why do you insist on changing them before release?
- rameznabel, on 08/02/2008, -3/+18 diggs for your comment while the article get 4 diggs only ...WTF!!!
- BrokenVisage, on 08/02/2008, -4/+2Next up.. 'Phoenix Provides a Panorama of Photos from Phobos'
- payam195r, on 08/02/2008, -4/+0More than 400 images! WOW
