Please create an option to automatically move forward through time so you can see an animated version of the journey. And please get rid of the fade-in/fade-out transition when you switch images, it makes it harder to see the difference between shots.
It would also be nice to be able to move forward/backwards through photos keyboard (e.g. arrow keys).
There's also some sort of toggles on the map pane to different views (zoom levels?) but they're not labeled nor do they have any sort of tooltips so it's not very clear what they do.
Cool but... I am pretty sure that it took photos that aren't close ups. All of those photos are all close up of rocks and I am sure it took some more wide angle shots too?
Or some showing the horizon at the very least.
I can't find any of those here as I work my way down the path.
this is really cool but it's missing a lot of context... like... they're taking pictures of the ground beneath their feet. it would be a very autistic way to tell the story of a hobbit's journey without the context of what they're looking at and why.
this slideshow is missing a narrative. people normally travel and orient themselves by landmarks. their journeys are related amongst themselves by language surrounding common landmarks.
I assume the different angles are different cameras mounted at different parts of the rover and used for different images? It would be nice to be able to select a particular camera and just follow the view from that, say.

I came to say exactly this, keyboard navigation please and automatic playback!

Not one comment praising the existence of this site. Remarkable.
I don't think it's cool to hotlink every single raw image from NASAs server here.
I find it so hard to figure out how close Curiosity is to the peak/ridge of Mt Sharp and whether/when it seems likely to cross over to the other side.
Here is a map: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/msl-curiosity/location-map/
It's nowhere near the peak and is very unlikely to reach it.
I’m aware of the map but I’m unclear on where the peak/ridge is.
The main peak is under the letter "C" in the "Gale Crater" text on that map.

maybe the narrative for the rover isn't available
