Curiosity rover transmitted to Earth the first 360-degree color panorama

This is the first 360-degree panorama in color of the Gale Crater landing site taken by NASA's Curiosity rover. The panorama was made from thumbnail versions of images taken by the Mast Camera .

Interesting Martian hills on the horizon, much like a small mountain on Earth.
