Late Afternoon on Mars
The Curiosity rover captured this panoramic view of a late afternoon on Mars from its perch on Western Butte. Shadows stretch long across the Martian landscape, with Gale Crater's rim visible in the distance. This scene was stitched together from images taken by Curiosity's navigation camera on sol 2616.
