Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Snaps Amazing Pic of Curiosity as Parachute is Deployed

After the dust settled on this mornings Mars Curiosity landing (literally), I got to thinking how cool it would have been to see the amazing landing live. Although that would have been impossible (for this landing at least), we will at least get this amazing satellite picture of the MSL as the parachute slows it down so that the sky crane can take over.

And just when you think this landing can't get anymore amazing!
