The Heat-Shield in "approximately true colors" on Sol 325

Caption NASA originale:"The picture features the main Heat-Shield debris when Opportunity was approximately 40 meters (about 131 feet) away from it. Many rover-team engineers were taken aback when they realized the Heat-Shield had inverted, or turned itself inside out. The height of the pictured debris is about 1.3 meters (about 4.3 feet). The original diameter was 2.65 meters (8.7 feet), though it has obviously been deformed.
The fact that the Heat-Shield is now inside out makes it more challenging to evaluate the state of the thermal protection system that is now on the inside. In coming sols, Opportunity will investigate the debris with its microscopic imager". Lo Scudo Termico, quindi, a detta del Controllo Missione, durante la caduta su Marte si sarebbe "rivoltato come un guanto". Scusateci, ma fra le tante sciocchezze che la NASA, ogni giorno, ci offre su piatti d'argento, questa ci sembra davvero da incorniciare.
O forse è colpa nostra che non riusciamo a capire quello che cercano di dirci...
