As reported in this blog, the high resolution camera of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter caught a remarkable image of Curiosity under parachute as it descended to the Martian surface. Now, that same camera has found Curiosity on the ground.
NASA isn't just looking for "gee whiz" pictures, howeveer. Detailed images of the terrain around Curiosity will help mission managers plot Curiosity's course through Gale Crater.
