Sol 0997: Left Navigation Camera, Polar Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 31 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 May 28, 2015, Sol 997 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 1570, site number 48. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 2 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
