Mars rover Curiosity captures 1.3-gigapixel panorama of the Red Planet

2013-06-27 19:59:54| Extremetech

NASA has produced a 1.3-billion-pixel, 360-degree photo of the surface of Mars, as seen by Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity. There's a flat, panoramic version of the image (seen above and embedded below), or, my personal favorite, a cylindrical view (embedded below). The photo clearly shows such Martian celebrities as John Klein (the first drilling of an extraplanetary rock), Yellowknife Bay, and the Bird-Shaped Rock (a favorite of the conspiracy theorists).
