APOD 3.3

The above image is a panorama taken on mars by the Opportunity. This rover has managed to survive for much longer than expected, it landed in 2004, with a life of three months, but is still functioning.

The image is a digital panorama, and thus, rather than ultra wide screen lense, is taken by getting multiple pictures and stitching them together, like many cell phone do, albeit, by professionals with much higher quality.

Additionally, the image has also been recolored to appear how a normal human would perceive it.
