NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover Looks Back on Murray Buttes (360 View)

This 360-degree panorama was acquired by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover while the rover was in an area called “Murray Buttes“ on lower Mount Sharp, one of the most scenic landscapes yet visited by any Mars rover. The view stitches together many individual images taken by Mastcam’s left-eye camera on Sept. 4, 2016, during the 1,451st Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The rover’s location when it recorded this scene was the site it reached in its Sol 1448 drive. (See map at http:
