JANUARY 12: This sweeping, medium-resolution version of the first 360-degree panoramic view of the Mars surface, taken by the rover Spirit's panoramic camera, was released by NASA January 12, 2004. Spirit and an identical rover, Opportunity, scheduled to land on the opposite side of the Red Planet January 24, are part of the $820 million Mars Exploration Rover project. Part of the spacecraft can be seen in the lower part of the image. (Photo by NASA via Getty Images)
