On the official website of NASA appeared a video that presents a circular panorama of the hills Murray Buttes of Mars. These are erosion-resistant rock formations that have remained intact for many centuries. They are named in honor of Bruce Murray - a prominent American scientist, former head of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
Dozens of photographs, of which the circular panorama of the Murray Buttes hills was made, were taken on August 5 of this year by the Mastcam camera, which is installed on the rover, that is, four years after landing in the Gale crater.
Note that in these images the Martian sky is blue, as the supporters of the theory of the presence of life on the Red Planet argued. ')
Although all photos from Mars, the US space agency is usually in yellow-brown tones, with which the sky is painted.
It turns out that NASA employees specifically run the photo through filters that distort colors.What they do it for is not clear.
Nor is it clear why this time they showed the Martian sky to blue, although they tried to “eat” two-thirds of it with a black background.
