Detailed Panorama of Mars Released

dptalia writes "NASA has just released a detailed panorama of Mars taken by the Spirit rover. During the short Martian winter the rover didn't get enough sunlight to move, so it took these pictures instead. Spirit took over 1400 pictures, for a total of 500 megs of data. If you look to the left of the picture, you'll see the tracks from the rover's trip."

How sad! We should send some humans there to play with it.

all a matter of perspective

You look at them as "tracks from the rover's trip."

The martian people look at them as "evidence leading to the invading probe from earth."

Can you hear that?
