October 14, 2008--The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter snapped this shot from high above the red planet's north polar ice cap.

NASA's Phoenix Lander, experiencing its 135th Martian day in this October 11 photograph, is shown as a tiny white dot at the ten o'clock position.

An enormous 14,300-square-mile (37,000-square-kilometer) dust storm that recently swept over the landing site appears just below Phoenix at the 9:30 position.

The storm blocked sunlight and dimmed Phoenix's solar power supply, but the Lander survived unscathed.
