Sol 1587: Left Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 17 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 360-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 205 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on January 23, 2017, Sol 1587 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2010, site number 60. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 2 PM to 3 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
