Mars Panorama - Curiosity rover
http://www.360cities.net/image/curio...2.61,7.59,11.9
NASA's Mars Exploration Program (source images: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Malin Space Science Systems)
With its rover named Curiosity, Mars Science Laboratory mission is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet. Curiosity was designed to assess whether Mars ever had an environment able to support small life forms called microbes. In other words, its mission is to determine the planet's "habitability."
This panorama was released 23.08.2012 and updated 30.08.2012
I have enhanced colors to be corresponded with colors used by NASA:

This is very hi-resolution panorama 30000x15000 pixels. I used to stitch it 138 source images (1200x1200px) from the 34-millimeter Mast Camera on NASA's Curiosity rover.
