Is it just me or is there a Unidentified Object in the sky in the newest Mars Rover Picture?: marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov...

marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit took this image with its front hazard-avoidance camera on sol 187 (July 13, 2004). Spirit is currently at a location called "Engineering Flats," where it is has been undergoing a "tune-up.

Please visit the link provided for the complete story.

Could we be getting close to something in the Hills? Please feel free to look and comment.

Have they ruled out other satellites and known observing objects from other countries and stuff like that??

Middle of the Picture - Above the Sun near the top. It looks like something is there.

The little dark spec? That could be anything from a meteor to a spec of dust near the camera.

Or did you just need ATS points?

I thinbk far more likely is that it is a satalite in orbit-we have many there in Mars orbit, it could even be the one the rover communicates with to send data to Earth.

or it could just be a speck of dust on the camera-lense. you also see a similar "spot" on the left side of the picture.

gotta go with darkspace on this one. Looks a lot like dust on the lens.

It's dust! Look at images from the same front hazcam on the days before and after. The same object is there. Same size, same shape, same position.

Thank you to phreak_of_nature for pointing out the same object on previous photos, thanks to all of you who responded to this Thread!!
