Martian dust has made it difficult to spy the @MarsPhoenix spacecraft and its parachute on the surface of Mars, nearly a decade after landing. Spotted from above by our Mars orbiter on Dec. 21, 2017, this GIF compares the recent shot to one that was taken about two months after the May 25, 2008 landing. Details: http://go.nasa.gov/2EUCctU
