On the marsrovers website today, there   
   is a Spirit "look-back" panorama on the home page.   
      
   If one views this at full resolution,   
   and scrolls about 3/4 way to the right   
   (past the tracks from the rover), there   
   is visible what appears to be a shining   
   rod-like object.  This portion of the   
   panorama can also be seen in a   
   Sol 50 Navcam raw image (fourth   
   last of the sol 50 navcam images).   
      
   The object appears out-of-place with   
   respect to its surroundings.  It does   
   not lie in the path of the rover tracks,   
   but perhaps it is some debris from the   
   landing system, maybe from the heat   
   shield, which apparently landed on the   
   rim of Bonneville crater according to the   
   MGS images.
