Curiosity rover snaps a panoramic view of Gale Crater on Mars

Curiosity rover's panoramic view of Gale Crater on Mars
A panorama comprising two images taken by Curiosity's navigation cameras after the rover raised its mast. The images show the rover on the floor of the 155 km-wide Gale Crater, revealing the desolate landscape which it will crawl across during its planned two-year mission. The smooth, gently undulating landscape should pose no problem for the nuclear-powered rover's 75cm-diameter wheels. The hills on the horizon form part of the rim of Gale Crater. The rover's ultimate scientific target, Mount Sharp which is higher than Mount Kilimanjaro relative to its immediate surroundings – is outside the field of view
