This panorama is one of the first that NASA's Spirit rover snapped upon reaching the summit of "Husband Hill." Taken on August 22, it reveals the vast landscape to the east previously hidden behind the Columbia Hills. The rim of "Thira Crater" frames the distant horizon some 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) away.
