Watch Curiosity Land on Mars live

[GrandMasterTerwynn]

It may be because of the rover's height, or the details of the terrain. But one thing I get from the panorama is the sense of Mars having a very short horizon- very close to the viewer. Which it would have, naturally, but it's interesting to see a picture that conveys that.

The fact that the rover is at the bottom of a crater, and thus, cannot actually see the horizon beyond the crater walls probably has a lot to do with it.

Thank you.

Details of the terrain- I had forgotten it was in the bottom of a crater.
