An amazing image of the Mars Phoenix descending under parachute to the Martian surface. No, it did not land IN this massive crater - it's in the far background.
The picture was taken via telescope from a satellite orbiting Mars!

An even better video of the whole mission. Great landing sequence (no dialog).
Quoted: Phoenix Mission: A new space explorer is waiting in the wings and ready to take center stage: the Mars lander called Phoenix. Set for launch aboard a Delta II rocket, Phoenix's assignment is to dig through the Martian soil and ice in the arctic region and use its onboard scientific instruments to analyze the samples it retrieves.
