The image’s 360-degree perspective warps the image, NASA notes, giving it a fisheye lens-like perspective. This study builds on previous work looking at the planet’s water systems and was published late last.

NASA Curiosity project scientist Ashwin Vasavada offers further insight into the image in a NASA-produced video, which has already racked up more than 530,000 views on YouTube. 1, 2019) - and assembled over subsequent months - the photo shows a region of Mars called “Glen Torridon,” according to a press release. Composed of more than 1,000 images taken over the course of four days (between Nov. NASA released the largest and highest-resolution panorama the Curiosity rover has ever taken on Tuesday, and, at close to 1.8 billion pixels, it gives a hyper-realistic look at Mars.
