A BILLION Martian Pixels

Hey Space Placers!

You have to check out the just released BILLION pixel panorama view of Mars taken by NASA's Curiosity lab-rover

and

You can zoom in and choose your color preference. I prefer the raw color as that is what the view would be like if you were on Mars.

It is quite spectacular to see and explore the area, especially Mt. Sharp in the background.

Enjoy

Tune in tomorrow on Fox 5 at 6:45 a.m. and WTOP at 9:20 as We discuss Sunday's SUPERMOON!
