Sol 0159: Left Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

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 256-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 291 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). 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
