The object in the lower left corner of this photo is the landing platform of the Spirit rover, sitting near Bonneville Crater on Mars. The Spirit rover landed here in 2004 and wandered towards the big crater. This image was taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
The rover is also in this picture, although it’s very hard to see. Spirit ceased to operate in 2010 and it sits forever on the edge of Bonneville.
