Default What is this point of light?

In the images for Spirit Sol 079 Pancam the very first 2 pairs are of
a dark sky with a point of light. In 3 of the images there is a
second one. The image below has only the brightest one:

Does anyone know what this might be, the Earth perhaps?

Thanks

I guess that now there are a thousand and one points of light.

Has anybody yet suggested that it might be the evil alien spacecraft that
destroyed our previous Mars missions, coming to kill Spirit and Opportinity
before they can reveal the aliens' plan of global domination? Quick, tell
NASA to hide each rover under the nearest rock! ;-)
