Sol 0574: Left Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 5 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 169-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 179 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on March 19, 2014, Sol 574 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 740, site number 30. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 3 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
