Kind of a crappy picture.

Looks like the quality of picture you'd get of Mars when taking the photo from the Earth. Either they have a really lousy camera on board that spacecraft, or someone's trying to pass off a terran-based photo as a space-based photo.

My thoughts exactly. My company builds high resolution cameras for spacecraft. We'd lose all our contracts with crappy images like that.

Coupled with their admission that they are operating on 30% of their electrical power, perhaps the Euroweenies spacecraft will join the Japanese one that failed earlier this week.
