Sol 1999: Left Navigation Camera, Polar Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 18 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 March 22, 2018, Sols 1999-2000 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2626, site number 68. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 1 PM to 11 AM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
