NASA Perseverance 360° Panorama of Mars Surface

360° Interactive PHOTO of Mars

You can interact with this photo by clicking anywhere on it and sliding your mouse (or finger if you're on a mobile device) in any direction!

This panorama of the Martian surface was taken with the Navigation Cameras, or Navcams, aboard NASA’s Rover – the Perseverance on Feb. 20, 2021. It was “stitched” together by NASA from several individual images after they were sent back to Earth.

I added the sky using a photo of Trumpler 14 – a glittering star cluster that contains a collection of some of the brightest stars seen in our Milky Way galaxy. It was captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. See the original photo here.

Although NASA made the original Mars image available for all to see on their website – it is not viewable in the 360° interactive format I created here.

360° Interactive VIDEO of Mars

Below, is a video featuring the 360° view of the surface of Mars before I added the sky from Trumpler 14. You may also interact with the video in the same way as the photo, above. NOTE: If you're viewing the video with a smartphone – you'll need to watch it on the YouTube app to be able to move all around the image as it plays.

Enhancing the original NASA images

The software I utilized to enhance this photo was created by Topaz Labs. I used Topaz Sharpen AI to improve the sharpness and Topaz Adjust AI to fix the color and contrast. SAVE 15% on ALL Topaz Labs software with code “15topaz” at check-out when purchased through this link: Topaz Labs software
