Sol 2053: Left Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 22 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 180 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on May 21, 2018, Sols 2057-2056 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 1752, site number 70. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 2 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
