Well... since the Martian soil looks pretty much like a dried up riverbed anyway, it wasn’t what interested me .
AND... a lot of work was done to eliminate the ‘arm’ which held the camera so it wouldn’t show up in the photos and this interactive view, which might have led to obscuring certain details of the ground.
HOWEVER, the view of the rover itself is awesome, and it’s not like the ‘view’ was meant to be used to do scientific research on the ingredients of the soil based on the image seen by the layman.
It’s just for entertainment, and in that respect, it is awesome.
Not so. Here is the PTgui stitched panorama of the raw sol 177 images. The overlapping views eliminate the arm naturally.
You can see that what's missing is the full horizon, so the image maker wrapped it a little tighter and stitched a piece in from other sources.
