Someone from the yellow forum posted the L7 of this sequence asking what it was that was dropped onto the solar cells. Looking at it closely, it's actually a reflection of the LGA which I thought was fascinating to see in colour!

I don't think that the above picture is of the shadow of an antenna. See the following pictures of Antenna. That time the sun is about in zenith. Around the antena there is no solar cells. sad.gif

'|' re-edited. After the Doug reply (see the next post), I made a mistake of interpretation between reflection and shadow. So please discard this post.

Not shadow - reflection smile.gif

If you look at the various diagrams here...

You can see where there are parts of rover deck where they could point the camera and get a reflection of the LGA

And indeed part of Spirit's deck pan that went into the Summit Super-Pan - in exactly the same location as on the Opportunity one. Not quite as clear, but visible.

That's a good shot of Trans Martian Air flight TMA1465. I heard they were thinking of offering fligh pathways which overfly the 2 MER rovers. Looks like they finally decided to do it, thinking they would not get caught by the MER cameras.
