Nasa has released the first official images captured by its Curiosity rover showing the surface of Mars in crystal clear detail.

The panorama is made up of one billion pixels stitched together from nearly 900 exposures taken by cameras onboard Curiosity.

The full-circle scene surrounds the site where Curiosity collected its first scoops of dusty sand at a windblown patch called 'Rocknest,' and extends to Mount Sharp on the horizon.
