Sol 2218: Left Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Perspective

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 21 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-perspective projection panorama of the Martian surface suitable for stereo viewing, centered at 3 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). This single-eye view must be combined with the partner right image to be viewed in stereo.  Curiosity took the images on October 29, 2018, Sols 2214-2218 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 0, site number 73. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 2 PM to 4 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
