Remember how we were amazed that MGS could actually see the Mars landers and rovers from orbit? Sure, the rovers and landers were little more than a pixel or two in the images but it was still impressive.
Well if you were amazed by that, wait until you see the MER Opportunity as seen by the brand spanking new MRO. Even the shadow of the camera mast is plainly visible. I think this one rates a double Wow!:
