Sol 1435: Left Navigation Camera, Polar Projection
![NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 26 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 August 20, 2016, Sol 1435 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 462, site number 57. 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](https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/24060_N_L000_1435_EDR057POLTSB0462_DRIVEM1-br3.png?w=4096&format=png)
