NASA releases new panoramic photographs of Mars

NASA has released an artistic interpretation of a Mars landscape in which it added colour to a composite photograph of two black-and-white panoramic images captured by its Curiosity Mars rover. The images were taken as the rover ascended the foothills of the 5km-high mountain with the Gale Crater, according to NASA. The rover used its black-and-white navigation cameras to take two series of five individual images captured over seven-and-half minutes.
