Sol 1438: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Perspective

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 27 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right 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 28 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 23, 2016, Sol 1438 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 774, site number 57. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 12 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
