Just came across it. Is it old or new? Or just plain debris?

Hi Doc been around a while that one. I seem to remember it being passed off as a tile from the heat shield? Didn't think they were triangular though.

If you follow your link to the picture and click "See all metadata, images and captions. " Opens the picture again with more details. Scroll down and click the tab "SPACE DEBRIS" it opens a handy search result for pictures with "space debris".
