NASA's Curiosity Rover Captures Stunning High-Res Panorama of a Martian Butte

High-Res Photo Shows Sand-Capped Butte Rising from Mars Plain of Polygons

NASA's Curiosity rover has captured a breathtaking high-resolution panorama of a sand-capped butte named 'Miraflores' on Mars. The image, composed of 11 photos stitched together, reveals the 20-foot-tall butte rising from a plain covered in thousands of polygonal formations, thought to be an ancient seabed. The rover's discoveries continue to shed light on Mars' watery past and its potential to have supported life.
