[FPSPACE] The latest Pale Blue Dot, this time from MRO

[LARRY KLAES]

Quoting from Spaceflight Now:

Another notable HiRISE image released today shows a blue crescent Earth and 
its moon, as seen by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The west coast of 
South America is visible in the photo. Still other images allow viewers to 
explore a wide variety of Martian terrains, such as dramatic canyons and 
rhythmic patterns of sand dunes.

The camera is one of six science instruments on the orbiter. The spacecraft 
reached Mars in March 2006 and has returned more data than all other current 
and past missions to Mars combined.
