You're a robot on Mars with this interactive 360-degree view - CNET

The Curiosity rover has been sending back selfies from the surface of Mars for a few years now, but they don't quite paint the picture of what it's like to be a robot so far from home.

Fortunately, NASA, using tech from a team at Facebook, put together a nifty interactive panorama to give smartphone users a sense of what it's like to chill at the foot of some Martian dunes. When you load the below video within the Facebook app on a mobile device, you should be able to rotate your phone to alter the view and get the full 360-degree experience from where the rover sits.

None other than Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg re-shared the post over the weekend. He explained that "NASA produced it by stitching together photos taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover, using technology created by the 360 video team at Facebook."
