Sol 4318: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A grayscale panorama of the Martian surface shows a wide field of flat terrain dotted with small rocks, all in dark gray, stretching into the distance where a large butte rises from the ground. A portion of the Curiosity rover is visible in the lower left corner of the image.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 31 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 187 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on September 29, 2024, Sols 4318-4316 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 540, site number 109. 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.
