Curiosity Sending Back Color Photos, Panoramas Even!

Yes! Full 360 degree color panoramic photo! To me it’s not a lot to look at but at the same time I’m zooming in looking in detail at the surface of Mars, 352 million miles away. Yeah, so it’s totally cool. No aliens yet and of course data is slow to get here but I can’t wait for more high resolution images. I don’t think I could work at NASA, you have to be super patient.
