Das Bildmaterial zu diesem Panorama stammt aus der Kamera des Mars-Rovers "Spirit". Von April bis Oktober 2006 parkte der Rover auf einem kleinen Mars-Hügel namens "Low Ridge." Die Solarzellen wurden in Richtung Sonne geneigt, um die Zellen für eine weitere Mission aufzuladen. Allerdings war zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht klar, ob der Rover weiterfahren konnte. Ein Vorderrad saß fest (siehe Schleifspur). Die hellen Stellen in der Schleifspur sind übrigens schwefelreiche salzige Mineralien: ein Indiz dafür, dass es hier mal Wasser gegeben haben muss.

The planet Earth has proven to be too limiting for our awesome community of panorama photographers. We're getting an increasing number of submissions that depict locations either not on Earth (like Mars, the Moon, and Outer Space in general) or do not realistically represent a geographic location on Earth (either because they have too many special effects or are computer generated) and hence don't strictly qualify for our Panoramic World project.But many of these panoramas are extremely beautiful or popular of both.So, in order to accommodate our esteemed photographers and the huge audience that they attract to 360Cities with their panoramas, we've created a new section (we call it an "area") called "Out of this World" for panoramas like these.Don't let the fact that these panoramas are being placed at the Earth's South Pole fool you - we had to put them somewhere in order not to interfere with our Panoramic World.Welcome aboard on a journey "Out of this World".
