Looks like the image is 1300 feet by 981 if the image hasn't been resized since NASA put it up.
EDIT: looks like original image scale was larger so 3,067 feet by 1825 feet. Smaller than I would have guessed.

I'd like to know the speed of their connection/lag to the mars modem.

I guess I don't understand why we couldn't get stuff faster...unless they're using most of the bandwidth for data they need?

Curiosity can TX/RX directly with Earth, but only at 32 kbps. Most of the data is going to be sent from Curiosity via repeating through either Odyssey or MRO, as they have much more powerful transmitters. Neither is geo-synched with Curiosity, so they can only talk to her when they get LOS.

Guess this Mars panorama is old, but I hadn't seen it.

Heh. I guess there's already something of a mystery at hand. Curiosity took this picture right after landing, apparently:
![]() That smudge right at the horizon isn't in another picture taken two hours later. The geeks are speculating that Curiosity amazingly might have taken that picture right when the sky crane smacked into the surface of Mars (as it was designed to do).
