McMurdo Panorama
This McMurdo panorama overview images shows the entire panorama
This 360-degree view, called the "McMurdo" panorama, comes from the panoramic camera (Pancam) on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit. From April through October 2006, Spirit has stayed on a small hill known as "Low Ridge." There, the rover's solar panels are tilted toward the sun to maintain enough solar power for Spirit to keep making scientific observations throughout the winter on southern Mars. This view of the surroundings from Spirit's "Winter Haven" is presented in approximately true color.
This "0" azimuth section shows the center of the panorama.
This "90" degrees azimuth image shows the right section of the panorama.
Thsi "180" degree azimuth image is centered where the two edges of the original panorama meet.
This "270" azimuth image shows the left section of the panorama.
