You'll play with this for ages guaranteed. Explore the Mars Curiosity rover and its new home with this full 360 degree (every direction) panorama shot.
You can zoom in and check the gravel that was kicked up onto the rover's deck by the jets on the Skycrane, pan up to see the Martian sunrise, or look for the small craters blasted by the jets on landing - two behind the turret, two less obvious ones on the other side.
And you will be utterly perplexed how this picture was assembled, because there is no obvious connection to the rover itself! It's like Curiosity has been decapitated, its head floating eerily above its body. I don't have an answer sorry...
No embedding this one sorry. Here's the link:

But be warned - it does take quite a while to load. You get a blank page for a while and think it isn't loading - give it time. It's worth it.
But if it won't come together for you, then there is this mosaic of mastcam photos that was put together by Travis Edwards in Photoshop - better than the stitch jobs I've seen so far from NASA! You can view higher resolutions on his Flickr page.
