NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover Departs Vera Rubin Ridge (360 View)

NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover has already descended from Vera Rubin Ridge, a region of Mount Sharp that it has been exploring for more than a year. But before it left, the rover took a 360-degree panorama of the area depicting its last drill hole on the ridge (at a location called "Rock Hall"), a new region it will spent the next year exploring (the clay unit) and its last view of Gale Crater's floor until it starts ascending in elevation again.

This is excellent. Does anyone else see debris? Anomalies? It doesn't take long with normal zoom to find...?

[LPrussia]

Hey JPL! Thank you, my dream is to see a panoramic view of mount Olympus. Is this possible?

[Biohazord]

Matt Damon should be around there somewhere sorry guy your gonna have to revive the river for us

[Mike_elGreco]

I can only see rocks.Where are the alliens?

[StreuB]

It blows my mind that this is another planet....its hard to trick your brain into realizing that when you are panning around. Just It literally feels like you just jump out and go hiking tho lol freeze dried!!

[AshRowe]

This is unreal - you look around and think "yeh, this is pretty cool...." then actually comprehend that these images are from another planet. Amazing.

[nbuuck]

To be able to drag one's finger and look arbitrary directions from the perspective of a man-made object on another planet... nothing has ever felt so surreal.

[PaintedCz]

The feeling this gives of being on another planet hasn't even begun to get old yet. That's!! Another planet!!!

[Tomfoolery]

Here I am looking down waiting for it to move 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Sunshine-jdss]

I never in my life thought I could ever see Mars this close holy woah. This is unreal I love it

[wendygrosser]

I’m doing Mars for my Enrichment Science class at preschool these next two weeks. I totally plan on showing this, thanks! The kids are so very interested in learning about planets, and it’s really neat to think that perhaps this generation of 4 and 5 year olds will be potentially able to go to Mars and see this all first hand.

We need a live feed from Mars so that gamers can complain about the FPS.

[Senystyn]

Dude, this is awesome. I swear, how can Flat Earthers say these planets don't exist, ridiculous

[vitormonteiro]

Sometimes I wonder if when humans live in Mars, some of them claim that it's flat. 😁

[SlimTimothy]

The flat Earthers will have a hay day with this! Can't wait to see what they come up with.. it's usually worth a good laugh!! 🌎

[googleuser]

I’ve been wanting more 360 videos, finally

[TheGuy]

I hope one day one of the Space Agencies can put a VR camera on their probes to map planets like we do for Google Street View. Of course we would blur out the Martians faces and number plates.

[gloriaborger]

This is so cool!!! I wish i could see sky but that would be hard to pull off all of that. Im really curious what night sky looks like there. Do you see it's moons?

[АлександрСтепанов-йш]

Честно великолепно. Кто первый полетит на марс надо делать Химиками. По таблице Менделеева И наче они помрут. Спасибо за видео.

Growing up in regional South Australia, this reminds me of home, only slightly less barren lol. But what are those weird outlines around the rocks at the base of the rover? It looks like someone's drawn a circle around them with a stick. I don't think it was Curiosity because you can see some further away with the same outlines...
