"Home Plate South"

     This is the Spirit Pancam "Home Plate South" panorama, acquired on sols 1325 - 1332 (September 25 - October 2, 2007). Covers 360 degrees of terrain around the rover.
     The first image is an approximate true color rendering using Pancam's 753 nm, 535 nm, and 432 nm filters. Image-to-image seams have been eliminated from the sky portion of the mosaic to better simulate the vista a person standing on Mars would see. The second image is a false color rendering using the same filters, but presented in a way dramatically different from "true color" in order to enhance the many striking but subtle color differences between rocks, soils, hills, and plains in the scene.

NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit used its panoramic camera (Pancam) to record a nearly 360-degree vista, dubbed the "Home Plate South" panorama. This view is a stereo anaglyph of the view, showing it in three dimensions to viewers using red-blue stereo glasses (red lens on the left). The images combined into this anaglyph were taken through the Pancam's L7 and R1 filters.
