This enhanced image with Big Crater in the background -- which turned out, serendipitously, to clearly show an object later identified as the jettisoned back-shell is the result of combining 25 nearly-identical images taken by the IMP camera, using a technique called super-resolution developed at NASA Ames Information Sciences Division by Peter Cheeseman, Bob Kanefsky, Robin Hanson, and John Stutz.
