The above is a self taken panorama of the mars rover curiosity. The picture was made by combining images from the Mahli and masthand, both cameras mounted on the rovers tall arm. The MAHLI, designed for close shots, took the rover itself, while the normal masthand camera took the in the landscape. As such, neither the MAHLI nor Mastcam are visible in this image. Despite this, the image is very impressive, albeit heavily fish eyed.
One can see how rocky mars is, and how it looks similar to a desert on earth.
