Sol 3104: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 46 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 projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 325 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on April 30, 2021, Sols 3104-3088 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2578, site number 87. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 4 PM to 12 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
