Nasa releases stunning 360-degree view of Mars
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has released a 360-degree panoramic image of Mars showing its rocky landscape.
The pictures were taken on April 4th by a camera on NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover. The panoramic image, is a compilation of several pictures taken from the top of a mountain plateau inside the planet’s Gale Crater.
Curiosity is a car-sized robotic rover that landed on the red planet back in 2012 as part of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission.
"The scenes show wind-sculpted textures in the sandstone bedrock close to the rover, and Gale Crater's rim rising above the crater floor in the distance," NASA said in the statement. "Mount Sharp stands in the middle of the crater, which is about 96 miles (154 kilometers) in diameter."
Curiosity will eventually start investigating three interesting bits of geology on the lower levels of Mount Sharp. The rocks could help scientists understand how long the Gale Crater was habitable for microbial life millions of years ago, NASA said.
