    The panorama shows Opportunity's final location in Perseverance Valley on Mars. It is a 360 degree composite image from 354 individual photos taken over a period of weeks in 2018. It shows the rover's entry point into the valley and its tracks extending to its final resting spot before communications were lost due to a dust storm. The last few black and white frames were taken just before the storm hit with only one filter.

    Original Description:

    Mars exploration rover Opportunity's parting panorama from Perseverance Valley spans 360 degrees in this false color mosaic. The scene is composed of 354 individual images recorded through 3 different color filters by the rover's panoramic camera from May 13 through June 10, 2018.

    Perseverance Valley Panorama


    Image Credit: NASA JPL-Caltech Cornell ASU

    Explanation: Mars exploration rover Opportunity's parting panorama from Perseverance Valley spans 360 degrees in this false color mosaic. The scene is composed
    of 354 individual images recorded through 3 different color filters by the rover's panoramic camera from May 13 through June 10, 2018. A few frames remain in
    black and white at the lower left though. Those were obtained through only one filter just before a dust storm engulfed Mars in June 2018, ultimately ending the
    solar-powered rover's trailblazing 15 year mission. Just right of center, the annotation identifies Opportunity's entry point to Perseverance Valley along the Endeavor
    crater's western rim. The rover's tracks begin there, extending from over the horizon toward the far right and its final resting spot on the Red Planet.
