NASA has released an artistic interpretation of a Mars landscape in which it added colour to a composite photograph of two black-and-white panoramic images captured by its Curiosity Mars rover.
The images were taken as the rover ascended the foothills of the 5km-high mountain with the Gale Crater, according to NASA.
The rover used its black-and-white navigation cameras to take two series of five individual images captured over seven-and-half minutes.
One series was taken in the morning and with the other one in the afternoon of 8 April, NASA said.
Later, on Earth, those images were combined to create two black-and-white panoramic photographs to which they added colour and annotation.
Curiosity landed in the Gale Crater of Mars on 6 August 2012 and is still exploring the planet.
