The panorama was created from 354 individual images taken over a 29-day period shortly before the rover succumbed to a severe dust storm last June.
In February, NASA announced that its pioneering Opportunity rover had died after nearly 15 years of exploring the Martian surface, marking the end of a mission which has significantly broadened our understanding of the Red Planet.
The panorama was created from 354 individual images taken over a 29-day period last spring using three different filters on the rover’s Panoramic Camera Several features of the surrounding area can be seen, as well as some tracks that the rover left before it came to its final resting place. Some of the frames in the panorama are not colored. This is because Oppy did not have time to image those frames with color filters before the devastating dust storm struck.
