На стекле пыли или конденсат?

@JimmyBrogan It's a spring from part of the mechanism that fired off the dust cover on the camera lens. More here http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/news/msl20120806.html

@WeaslyGizzly Curiosity has removable lens covers. They collected the dust upon impact, then were ejected off.
