Sol 1196: Left Navigation Camera, Polar Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 23 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 December 18, 2015, Sol 1196 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 0, site number 52. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 4 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
