Check this one out. "This is the first time that a spacecraft has imaged the

It's always great to get new images of a never seen before place.
I wonder how long before they try to get a decent view of the object near
the horizon 2/3 of the way to the right.

Even looks like its illuminated from the left like the nearby rocks. Other
images make it look like it may partly be an imaging/focusing artifact.
Possibly a large boulder. Almost like an erratic.
