I just browsed the MRO and Stardust websites. Looking at their respective "Where is <spacecraft name> now?" pages, I notice that both are currently midway between Earth and Mars.

I'm thinking that having one of them photograph the other is pure crazy talk. But it did beg the question of how close will they pass each other? Anyone know?

Thanks,

Kelly

I'm sure that if someone has Celestia and all the right things installed, they could tell us.
