nicely, all the planets and the sun are "behind" the probe in a nice line, Saturn peaking up above the Mars horizon just as it's heading into Mars.
I'm predicting it landed safely

Dr. Jill Tarter spoke during Curiosity Landing
Coverage, earlier this morning. The following
podcast was presented Apr 01, 2008.
This video is the (Google+ Hangout) replay of numerous scientists’ real-time chatting and excitement in anticipation of Curiosity’s landing on Mars last weekend. Each scientist was speaking from her/his own location in North America including the NASA JPL media room. I watched in real life what is now this video, and it’s handy now for your viewing pleasures.
