It aint Earth, but it sure couldve fooled us.

A dramatic 360-degree panorama , released Friday by NASAs Jet Propulsion Lab, shows the surface of Mars looking a lot like the southwestern U.S.

The image, which was shot on Aug. 5 by the Mast Camera aboard the Curiosity rover, most notably highlights a formation known as the Murray Buttes on Mount Sharp , a peak that rises 18,000 feet over the floor of the valley in which its located.

More than 130 individual pictures make up the stunning visual. All of them were snapped from the rovers position during the afternoon of the missions 1,421st sol (Martian day), which was also the fourth anniversary of Curiositys landing on Mars.

Its hard to tell scale from a quick glance, but NASA says the dark mesa just left of Curiositys robotic arm is about 50 feet high and 300 feet from the rovers position. You can also see an upper portion of Mount Sharp to the left of the mesa.

For comparison, heres a vintage shot of a sandstone butte in New Mexico called Enchanted Mesa:
