2. Flip the panorama 180 degrees by going to Image> Image rotation > 180 degrees.
3. Go to Image >Image Size > click RESAMPLE and UNLINK the width and heigth box. In DOCUMENT SIZE enter 12 in by 12in at 300 ppi.
or different PS version
Go to Image >Image Size > click RESAMPLE and unclick constrain proportion box. In DOCUMENT SIZE enter 12 in by 12in at 300 ppi.
Hit return. The image should be distorted and square.

To blend the layers together, go to Layer > New Layer. Make sure Sample All Layers is selected at the top of tool bar.
Wow! See the planet and fix it in PS as you see fit using the clone stamp or bandaid tools.
EXTRA
For added fun on the fly, take a multiple exposure of a friend using the panorama feature on your phone. Instruct your subject to run out of the frame, behind you, to a new position to have multiple versions of the same person.
* NOTE If you shoot from below, your subject will appear as spokes from your planet.
