Simple question about panoramas, Why must they have ends?

Viewing the latest wonderful Home Plate mosaics prompts a thought that has often occurred to me before. Why isn't it possible to join up the ends of a panorama to allow for continuous panning in either direction? On the face of it this would seem to be a relatively simple thing (hugely less complicated than a full virtual reality package) and highly desirable for 360 degree views, yet it's never done. Can somebody explain to me where the catch lies?

Nice work Andy! smile.gif

Next time I'll make sure the gradient of the artificial sky is more vertical.
