Sol 0597: Mast-Mounted Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Perspective

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 5 image pairs in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 168-degree cylindrical perspective projection panorama of the Martian surface suitable for stereo viewing, centered at 349 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). This anaglyph must be viewed with red/blue glasses (red over left eye). 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 1 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
