This is the meaningful part of block hash. If mining by yourself you can search for it at blockexplorer.com and take a look at this exact block. It should be in your bitcoind debug.log too. When mining with pool it doesn't have much meaning - all you can see is some 'real' block found by your miner. Right now this will look something like '0002xxxx'.
