Then you have some options, like setting where along the photo is "center" or "north"Īlso you can set the dimensions, not all panoramas are all the way to under your feet, some have a dead space or are cropped, if you make it a full sphere it will be oddly distorted.

Some of them are as easy as right clicking and downloading, some are trickier, (not the time or place to go into stealing images if you can't find it out in the open to download, consider finding/writing the creator to ask for a copy.) you can find them on websites like, Some of of my favorites were of a panorama stitched from one of the moon landings, and a selfie done by the mars rover (with an edited in amazing sky. you can find them on google+ you can find them on google image searches.
