Sol 0956: Left Navigation Camera, Polar Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 17 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 April 15, 2015, Sol 956 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 472, site number 46. 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
