Sol 0159: Left Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Perspective

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 11 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 237-degree cylindrical-perspective projection panorama of the Martian surface suitable for stereo viewing, centered at 74 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). This single-eye view must be combined with the partner right image to be viewed in stereo. Curiosity took the images on January 17, 2013, Sol 159 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 1986, site number 5. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 2 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
