Martian panorama

NASA's Curiosity rover captured this 360-degree panoramic view from the landing site with the navigation camera. Mount Sharp is to the right and the north Gale Crater rim can be seen at center. The rover's body is in the foreground with the shadow of its mast poking up to the right.

The images were acquired at 3:30 p.m. on Mars, or the night of August 7 PT.
