Pictures compiled from Mars Rover Spirit using the front HAZCAM left side lens from martian days (sols) 1 through 1724. That's nearly five earth years shrunk into a 7 minute video. This is my original version with J. Geils Band playing Whammer Jammer and Hard Driving man. This compilation represents the Spirit of this little rover hard driving a planet never explored like this before.
@tobbee1233 This is from the front HazCam, which as it's name suggests is to watch for hazards. Black and white photographs require a lower bit-rate to send to Earth, and they work just as well for color photos for avoiding obstacles, it's just more efficient. The PanCam is the one that takes the color photographs.
