NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been in orbit around Mars since 2006, snapped this amazing photograph of the new Mars Curiosity rover as it descended by parachute towards the surface of Mars (the white box shows you where it is).

Raw (unprocessed) images taken by Mars Curiosity itself after landing are on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's website.
