Horowitz Crater

“The featured image of a hill inside Horowitz Crater was investigated by instruments aboard the robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter . . .”

1. They are dancing around calling it a photograph. Is this a computer-generated rendering? If so, I’d like to be told.

2. I forget: does the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have a ground-based component, that can take images like this from the ground and send them up to the orbiter?

I’m not that impressed .... sounds more like a pre-budget pimp job than significant scientific advance!
