NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity took 18 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 March 16, 2018, Sol 1993 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2090, site number 68. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 4 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
