The 360-degree view was captured at the Gediz Vallis channel that formed billions of years ago.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Curiosity Mars Rover has provided a 360 panoramic view of its valley. The panorama image was shared by NASA's YouTube page Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Explore Mars with me ????This 360-degree panorama is Gediz Vallis channel, a feature that appears – from space, at least – to have been carved by an ancient river. If so, it could revise the timeline for when water flowed on this part of Mars. https://t.co/f4gmMdeGHZ
The 360-degree view was captured at the Gediz Vallis channel that formed billions of years ago.
According to NASA, “Gediz Vallis channel was one of the last features to form on the three-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) Mount Sharp, the base of which Curiosity has been ascending since 2014. The channel is filled with piles of boulders and other debris that may have been brought here by debris flows (rapid, wet landslides) or dry avalanches.”
