Caption NASA:"This image is a view of NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander's Surface Stereo Imager (SSI) as seen by the Lander's Robotic Arm Camera. This image was taken on the afternoon of the 116th Martian Day, or Sol, of the Mission (September 22, 2008).
The mast-mounted SSI, which provided the images used in the 360 degree panoramic view of Phoenix's Landing Site, is about 4" tall and 8 inches long.
The two "eyes" of the SSI seen in this image can take photos to create 3-dimensional views of the landing site".
