On Sol 1162 the Perseverance Mars rover reached a location named Mount Washburn in the ancient river Valley Neretva Vallis. The surprising variety of the colors and textures amazed the rover team, who subsequently planned many multispectral observations using Mastcam-Z as well as investigations with the SuperCam laser and camera. Multiple observations were also dedicated to the distinct witheish boulder with dark speckles dubbed called "Atoko Point".
Since then the rover has continued westward to a feature called "Bright Angel", a light patch of terrain that is prominently visible in the orbital imagery and might give new insights about the stratigraphic relationships of the delta.

I assembled this panorama from five right Navcam images taken on Sol 1162, three right Navcam images from Sol 1163 and five left Navcam sky images of the Sky from Sol 1162. Due to the low quality of the Sky images I had to apply significant smoothing to the sky in order to make it look uniform.

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".
