Sol 1067: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Perspective

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 5 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 163-degree cylindrical-perspective projection panorama of the Martian surface suitable for stereo viewing, centered at 91 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). This single-eye view must be combined with the partner left image to be viewed in stereo.  Curiosity took the images on August 08, 2015, Sol 1067 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 0, site number 49. 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
