At the far right of the frame, a very bright light source illuminates the sky above several small hills. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible along the bottom of the image, including one wheel visible in the bottom center of the frame and two others in the lower right corner.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 31 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 360-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 198 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on May 09, 2025, Sol 4534 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 0, site number 116. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 3 PM to 4 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
