The Discovery of Mars "Blueberry" Panoramas: In 2004, the Opportunity Rover sent back a wide-format panorama of "Eagle Crater," showing mysterious spherical hematite "blueberries" on the surface.

Todays Challenge: "The Macro Pano." Find a patch of gravel, flowers, or small rocks. Capture a "sweep" panorama from very close to the ground, focusing on the repeating textures of the small objects.

Pano Inspiration: Mars panoramas are often made by combining hundreds of "macro" images to create one giant, high-resolution wide-format view of the planet’s surface.
