Spirit from above

In yet another demonstration of its awesomeness, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter managed to get an image of the Spirit rover from orbit using HiRISE, even though the rover only shows up as a dark dot. For rovers that have been on Mars for almost five years, Spirit and its twin Opportunity are still going pretty strong.
