Sol 0597: Left Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 7 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 168-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 248 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on April 12, 2014, Sol 597 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 718, site number 31. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 1 PM to 2 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
