The coolest image of Mars Curiosity is not from Curiosity.

Via NASA's website, an image captured by the Mars Orbiter...err, in orbit around Mars...captured this photo of the Mars Curiosity Rover's descent with its parachute opened.

That's a much better view, don't you think?  We've never had this sort of imagery of a landing from space.


Well okay, this one is cool too -- from Curiosity, while descending, ejects its heat shield.
