NASA's Curiosity rover captured its biggest and highest-resolution panorama yet of the Martian surface between Nov. 24 and Dec. 1, 2019. This image contains nearly 1.8 billion pixels it is made up of almost 1000 individual images taken from the different cameras over four days.
The rover's Mast Camera, or Mastcam, used its telephoto lens to produce the panorama and relied on its medium-angle lens to produce a lower-resolution panorama,.. that includes the rover's deck and a robotic arm. curiosity looks a bit like an abstract painting here that's because this is a 360-degree perspective the image is warped like looking through a fisheye lens
when you start to zoom in you can see the rim of the Gale crater we're inside out. here's an impressive sight 20 miles away towards the south is slang post the creator just inside the Gale crater rim. It is 3 miles wide something huge must have struck here..maybe billions of years ago.

whenever I start to think that Mars looks familiar to our home planet. sights like this dramatic impact crater remind me that we're looking at a different planet.

curiosity is exploring a clay-bearing region on the side of a mount sharp, NASA believes that this ancient landscape was the site of lakes and streams billions of years ago
they left their clues in the finely layered clay-rich rocks.


you can also make out some amazing details on the rover itself. this is the shadow of curiosity's MastCam
The MastCam system provides multiple spectra and true-color imaging with two cameras.
This is the drill that takes samples of Martian soil.
this hexagonal object is the Curiosity's high-gain antenna, Curiosity uses its high-gain antenna to receive commands from the mission team back on Earth. It can send a "beam" of information in a specific direction
here's rad an instrument that detects radiation from the Sun and space …………..thanks to rad we have a better idea of how to protect future astronauts on Mars.
Most often, Curiosity sends radio waves through its ultra-high frequency (UHF) antenna (about 400 Megahertz) to communicate with earth.
This is the RTG (radioisotopes thermoelectric generator) is an electric generator that powers the curiosity, that’s why it doesn't have solar panels like other rovers.
You can also see the damaged aluminum wheels due to wear and tear.
why are their several tubes on the rover??... these tubes were part of the fluid cooling system that circulated throughout the spacecraft that flew the rover to Mars. these wires linked to sky crane for data transmission they were cut during landing.

in spite of all the dust, our sundial still tells us to explore more and more….
trailing behind the rover you can see our tracks. even after seven years on Mars
curiosity is not done making tracks yet panoramas like this are like a window to another world……….
