Sol 1168: Left Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Perspective
![NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 19 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 360-degree cylindrical-perspective projection panorama of the Martian surface suitable for stereo viewing, centered at 105 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). This single-eye view must be combined with the partner right image to be viewed in stereo. Curiosity took the images on November 19, 2015, Sol 1168 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 268, site number 51. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 2 PM to 4 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech](https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/23903_N_L000_1168_EDR051CYPTS_0268_DRIVEM1-br3.png?w=4096&format=png)
