Three Years into its Mission, Curiosity's Stunning Martian Panorama
It's been three years since NASA's Curiosity rover, carrying the Mars Science Laboratory, made its bold skycrane-assisted landing on the surface of Mars.
Since then the rover has progressed across a wealth of varied and fascinating terrain. The southward looking panorama [scientificamerican.com] here has been stitched together from images taken back in April 2015 with the rover cameras - on Martian days (or sols) 952 and 953 after landing (a solar day on Mars is 24 hours and 39 minutes).
A series of beautiful views for Mars fans. The land forms are reminiscent of the Painted Desert [arizona-leisure.com] in shape, if not in coloring.
The beauty of a pun is in the "Oy!" of the beholder.
