Sol 0344: Left Navigation Camera, Polar Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 8 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a polar stereographic projection panorama of the Martian surface with 0 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north) at the top of the image. Curiosity took the images on July 26, 2013, Sol 344 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 0, site number 10. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 2 PM to 3 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
