Sol 0052: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 12 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 55 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on September 29, 2012, Sol 52 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 3076, site number 4. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 1 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
