A Panorama of Mars from Larry's Lookout
This panorama of Mars from Larry's Lookout was created from images taken by the Spirit rover. The lookout is near the peak of Husband Hill in the Columbia Hills. The summit of Husband Hill is visible 200 meters away in the center of this 360-degree, near-true-color picture. Spirit took these images over four Martian days before moving toward the summit.
