Panoramic view of Mars
August 24-26, 2005 - Spirits View from the Summit. This approximate true-color panorama was taken by the Spirit rover after it successfully trekked to the top of Husband Hill, in the Columbia Hills of Gusev Crater. The rover spent the last 14 months climbing the hills in both the forward and reverse directions to reduce wear on its wheels.
This breathtaking view from the summit reveals previously hidden southern terrain called Inner Basin (center), where team members hope to direct Spirit in the future. The rover left tracks to the left point toward the west, the direction Spirit arrived from. The peaks of McCool Hill and Ramon Hill, both in the Columbia Hills, can be seen just to the left and behind Inner Basin.
The mosaic is made up of images taken by the rovers panoramic camera over a period of three days (sols 583 to 585). It spans about 240 degrees in azimuth, and was acquired using 51 different camera pointings and three camera filters (750, 530 and 480 nanometers). Image-to-image seams have been eliminated from the sky portion of the mosaic to better simulate what a person standing on Mars would see
