Sol 2970: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 10 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 224-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 178 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on December 14, 2020, Sol 2970 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 1492, site number 84. 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
