Washington D.C. [USA], Mar 6 (ANI): NASA has unveiled a breathtaking panorama shot of Mars surface, by stitching together thousands of individual images, captured by its Curiosity rover.
What makes the image unique is that it comprises of nearly 1.8 billion pixels, reported New York Post.
The staggering image resolution gives the shot a hyper-realistic feel.
A recent press release by NASA explains that the masterpiece is made by stitching together in excess of 1,000 images clicked between November 24 and December 1, 2019.
The photograph that depicts Mars's "Glenn Torridon" region was assembled over a course few months right after its component images were captured, the release stated further.
In a video about the seemingly surreal image on the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's YouTube page, NASA scientist Ashwin Vasavada says that "panoramas like this are like a window to another world."
"This is the first time during the mission we've dedicated our operations to a stereo 360-degree panorama," he added.
According to the New York Post, during its 7 year-long stint on the red planet, Curiosity also captured a 1.3 billion pixel panorama back in 2013. (ANI)

Astronomers find the smallest main-belt asteroids ever detected:

The majority of known asteroids orbit inside the main asteroid belt, which is positioned between Mars and Jupiter at an average distance of around 250 million km from Earth. Since the discovery of the first asteroid in 1801, about 750.000 asteroids have been identified, primarily in the last decade thanks to several optical surveys that examine the sky on clear nights.

Chemists design novel method for generating sustainable fuel

Tuning this environment by controlling how the CoPc catalyst was distributed on the carbon nanotube surface allowed carbon dioxide to be as much as eight times more likely to produce methanol, a discovery that could increase the efficiency of other catalytic processes and have a widespread impact on other fields, said Robert Baker, co-author of the study and a professor in chemistry and biochemistry at The Ohio State University.

Plant receptors that regulate growth have common origin: Study

As in animals, plants have immune responses that help them defend against pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Before invaders can be stopped, they must first be detected, and this is accomplished by pattern recognition receptors located on the surface of plant cells

Wearable devices may help astronauts avoid being 'lost' in space

The sky is no longer the limit - but flying is risky. We lose many of the clues we need to orient ourselves when we leave the Earth's surface, and this spatial disorientation can be fatal. Astronauts typically require extensive training to protect themselves against it. However, scientists have discovered that wearable devices that vibrate to provide orientation cues may considerably improve the efficacy of this training, making spaceflight slightly safer.
