Curiosity Rover First Colour 360 Panorama
Original Photo : NASA JPL- Caltech (http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html) Interactive panorama conversion: Hans Nyberg - Panoramas.dk (http://www.panoramas.dk/about-nyberg.html) Note that more sky has been added artificially by me in this interactive version.
This 360-degree panorama was released Aug 27 2012.
It includes the highest part of Mount Sharp which is approximately 12 miles (20 kilometers) from the rover.
The colors on this panorama are enchanced to give the same colors as it would have under lights on earth.

Well thanks for letting the secret out, I'm just glad you didn't mention the moon landing vehicle across the street. :lol:

At about 12.5 degrees to starboard, it looks like there might be a gym sock lying on the ground. Never the less, thanks for the post. it is really quite amazing, and very cool.

Looks a lot like what you see from I-40 between Flagstaff and Gallup.

Keep in mind, from the article... the image is tweaked, color of the ground and sky.

Some of the sky is "filled in" where there is no imaging.

To add to the panorama experience. But, it's freaking awesome.
