NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 17 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 0-degree cylindrical-perspective projection panorama of the Martian surface suitable for stereo viewing, centered at 143 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 October 24, 2016, Sol 1499 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2136, site number 58. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 1 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
