    What’s the orientation of the image here? Does the camera look down or forward?

      The MAHLI camera can be pointed in many directions as it’s mounted on the turret at the end of the rover’s robotic arm. In this case it’s pointing pretty much straight down. Here’s a NavCam image of the robotic arm that was acquired when the MAHLI image was captured.
