I found this earlier...it's stunning!  The shots were taken by the earlier Mars rover... Curiosity.

Well.... I thought this is really fantastic considering the thousands of images that were taken and stitched together and sent millions of miles across space, it must have taken a long time for someone at NASA to clean up and stitch the images to make the video.

That's pretty cool, not seen that before.

It took over 4,000 people 8 years working to get these pictures across nearly 300 million miles of space... my mind boggles!

I watched it live on NASA TV.   We won't be seeing any HD images for a while as it takes quite some time doing all the system checks etc. I'm looking at NASA TV several times a day, looking forward to seeing some great images.

I doubt there will be much interest in this but just in case here goes.
