Sol 0419: Left Navigation Camera, Polar Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 12 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 October 11, 2013, Sol 419 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 0, site number 19. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 4 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
