Sol 0135: Left Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 24 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 360-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 150 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on December 21, 2012, Sols 133-134 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 1858, site number 5. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 2 PM to 5 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
