Yesterday, October 26, 2006, was Spirits 1.000th sol on Mars, that’s 910 sols longer than the mission was planned for. A sol is equal to 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35 seconds. The rover Spirit took a panorama of its winter home on the Martian surface. The 360-degree image is called the McMurdo panorama and comes from the Pancam on Spirit. The image approximates the natural colors on Mars.
Here’s the NASA story with a high resolution image of the McMurdo panorama:
