Gorgeous view of Mars from NASA

Until such time as the person gets to Mars, there is still some time. But if someone really go on the surface of the Red Planet, then this possibility is already there. We are talking about virtual reality and panoramic shooting. NASA has provided a gorgeous panorama of Mars.

The viewing angle in this case - all 360 degrees, there is already need to thank Curiosity, as the rover is able fotgrafirovat the surface of Mars, and the whole environment with a very wide viewing angle. It collected together 57 different images from Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), located at the end of the rover's arm.

An array of gray matter close - this Martian dune, composed of the similarity of sand (although in the usual sense of the word, it is not sand). Now the rover is located in the north-west of Mount Sharp, next to the sand dunes, which are planned to explore in the near future. In fact, "the sand" on Mars different from Earth's, the properties of these particles, and is now scheduled to be explored. Experts studying Mars, are extremely interested in the amount of sand particles and the dynamics of movement of particles moving under the influence of atmospheric flows. With the rover for the first time be able to get detailed information on the sands of Mars. New data will be added to the information that Curiosity got a few years ago.

Look around a bit unusual, because the proportion of the world has changed dramatically. But it is interesting, it does not say anything. Strange proportions, probably - a consequence of the merger of pictures that were taken ordinary rather than the panoramic camera. The result is an effect of "fish-eye».

View interactive, so you can look in any direction, including the soil. View panorama can 's here . Varint better as suggest in the comments, have here .
