 Phoenix first horizon shots may have already triggered controversy due to a large anomaly seen on the horizon. Ref: SOL0 281706502
The Surface Stereo Imager Right on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander acquired this image at 17:15:35 local solar time at the Phoenix site on the mission's Martian day, or Sol, 0. The camera pointing was elevation -1.33297 [deg] and azimuth 356.297 [deg]
The Phoenix Mission is led by the University of Arizona, Tucson, on behalf of NASA. Project management of the mission is by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Spacecraft development is by Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver.
This image could just be a glitch in the transmission but We've never seen a glitch with a shadow. ;)

A more plausable explanation is that its just debris from lander... Just seems awful lonely with no other parts laying around it!

| Heads of Agency International Space Station |  | | The heads of the International Space Station (ISS) agencies from Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia and the United States met in Tokyo, Japan, on March 11, 2010, to review ISS cooperation. From the left are Dr. Keiji Tachikawa, President of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator; Jean-Jacques Dordain, Director General of the European Space Agency; Anatoly N. Permirov, Head of the Russian Space Agency; and, Dr. Steve MacLean, President of the Canadian Space Agency. With the assembly of the ISS nearing completion and the capability to support a full-time crew of six established, they noted the outstanding opportunities now offered by the ISS for on-orbit research and for discovery including the operation and management of the world's largest international space complex. The heads of agency reaffirmed the importance of full exploitation of the station's scientific, engineering, utilization, and education potential. They noted that there are no identified technical constraints to continuing ISS operations beyond the current planning horizon, and that the partnership is currently working to certify on-orbit elements through 2028. They emphasized their common intent to undertake the necessary procedures within their respective governments to reach consensus later this year on the continuation of the ISS to the next decade.
