NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to take this 360-degree panorama from within Gediz Vallis channel on June 19, 2024, the 4,220th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The panorama is made up of 336 individual images that were stitched together after being sent back to Earth. The color has been adjusted to match lighting conditions as the human eye would see them on Earth.
