Black and white panorama in digital/information era. You can get better picture with your cell phone. NASA is a joke, once again they want us to see what they think is right from their manipulative point of view. Propaganda once more.

Actually, they images from the navigation cameras and cameras to check for hazards (hazcams). Because these are (were) the most important stages so it doesn't end up in a difficult or dangerous position, they need to contain as little data to transmit as fast as they can back to Earth, so low res, and/or no colour information. As they also from the navigation cameras, they are just that, navigation cameras.
