Mars Rover Captures Incredible Images Of Martian Day

Handout photo - Figure B is the morning panorama without added color. NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its black-and-white navigation cameras to capture panoramas at two times of day on April 8, 2023. The panoramas were captured at 9:20 a.m. and 3:40 p.m. local Mars time, then merged together. Color was added for an artistic interpretation of the scene, with blue representing the morning panorama and yellow representing the afternoon one. Each of these new panoramas took about 7 1/2 minutes to capture and include five individual images that were stitched together after being sent to Earth.
