Coolest picture you'll see this year



Absolutely nothing to do with instructional tech, but just amazingly cool. How you manage to get a satellite hundreds of millions of miles away to get a photo of a tiny, very fast moving object with a highly uncertain position from a couple of hundred miles away, all without any real time guidance since Mars->Earth->Mars round trip radio time is well over 20 minutes is just beyond me...
