Sol 1555: 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 21, 2016, Sols 1555-1559 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 3016, site number 59. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 4 PM to 12 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
