Sol 4: Mars Color Panorama
This color panorama shows the area around the Sagan Memorial Station on Mars, made from images recorded on Sol 4. The composite view reveals the reddish soil and rock-strewn terrain of an ancient Martian flood channel. The unused forward rover deployment ramp extends from the bottom left, and the Sojourner rover is visible farther to the right.
