NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity gained this view of its own
heat shield during the rover's 325th martian day (Dec. 22, 2004). The
main structure from the successfully used shield is to the far left.
Additional fragments of the heat shield lie in the upper center of the
image. The heat shield's impact mark is visible just above and to the
right of the foreground shadow of Opportunity's camera mast. This view
is a mosaic of three images taken with the rover's navigation camera.
