Metal Print : Panoramic view of the plains of Meridiani on the planet Mars
Metal Prints from Stocktrek
Panoramic view of the plains of Meridiani on the planet Mars
Panoramic image of an area on Mars dubbed Rub al Khali, acquired by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity on the plains of Meridiani. The rover was stuck in the dunes deep fine sand for more than a month. Rub al Khali (Arabic translation: the empty quarter) was chosen as the name for this panorama because it is the name of a similarly barren, desolate part of the Saudi Arabian desert on Earth.
The view spans 360 degrees. It consists of images obtained in 97 individual pointings of the panoramic camera. Lighting varied during the nine sols it took to acquire this panorama, resulting in some small image seams within the mosaic. These seams have been smoothed in sky parts of the mosaic to better simulate the vista that a person would see if able to view it all at the same time on Mars. Opportunitys tracks leading back to the north (center of the panorama) are a reminder of the rovers long trek from Endurance Crater. The deep ruts dug by Opportunitys wheels as it became stuck in the sand appear in the foreground. The crest and trough of the last ripple the rover crossed before getting stuck is visible in the center

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a breathtaking panoramic view of the plains of Meridiani on the enigmatic planet Mars. Acquired by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, this image captures an area dubbed Rub al Khali, which translates to "the empty quarter" in Arabic. The choice of name is fitting as it mirrors a barren and desolate part of the Saudi Arabian desert on Earth. Spanning 360 degrees, this mesmerizing vista was created from 97 individual pointings of the panoramic camera over nine sols (Martian days). Although lighting conditions varied during its acquisition, resulting in some minor image seams within the mosaic, these have been skillfully smoothed in order to replicate what one would see if standing there on Mars. As we explore this awe-inspiring scene, Opportunity's tracks leading back to the north serve as a poignant reminder of its arduous journey from Endurance Crater. In the foreground lie deep ruts carved by Opportunity's wheels as it became ensnared in fine sand for over a month. Additionally, we can observe the crest and trough of the last ripple that proved insurmountable for our intrepid rover. This remarkable photograph not only transports us millions of miles away but also highlights humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration beyond our own celestial boundaries. It serves as a testament to both scientific achievement and mankind's insatiable curiosity about worlds far beyond our own blue planet.
