Stunning footage released from NASA provides 360° views of the Martian landscape from the Curiosity Rover.
The NASA press release states: “The scenes show wind-sculpted textures in the sandstone bedrock close to the rover, and Gale Crater’s rim rising above the crater floor in the distance. Mount Sharp stands in the middle of the crater, which is about 96 miles (154 kilometers) in diameter.”
