Sol 4222: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A panoramic black and white image of the Martian landscape before the Curiosity rover. Wind-sculpted, wavy sand dunes appear at far left, while fields of scattered jagged and broken rocks cover the rest of the foreground, while the background is dominated by three large buttes of layered rock.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 40 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 196 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on June 22, 2024, Sols 4222-4210 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2496, site number 107. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 1 PM to 12 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
