Look at the sequence starting with this image.
There are two very bright stars rising in the dawn light.
Using Solar System simulator, I strongly suspect they are Earth and Jupiter... look at the following comparison with one subframe rotated/rescaled at the same scale:

What would be even COOLER still is if I could take my Mak telescope and actually look at Earth from Mars with my own eyes. But alas....it isn't yet possible.

look at the last colour triplet from Oppy Pancam (Sol 865), this is an enhanced version:

I guess image was taken shortly after sunset; the bright, saturated object barely visible in the sky should be a planet (peraphs Earth, based on bluish color). Any suggestion/simulation?

EDIT: ignore this post, I just discovered that the stuff appear only in one image (L5), so probably is a cosmic ray!
