[Photo of either the Opportunity lander or rover.](http://www.gutenberg.net/1/2/0/8/12082/12082-h/opportunity/1P133065903ESF06GOP2542LM1.jpeg) You might have to load the image in something so that you can zoom in on it, but it’s pretty clear that the NASA guys liked to play with 'em as kids from this shot. (BTW, more full color Mars images can be found [here.](http://www.gutenberg.net/1/2/0/8/12082/12082-h/12082-h.htm))
