Sol 4334: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A trapezoid-shaped grayscale image from the Martian surface shows medium gray soil covered in bright-toned, almost whitish rocks of all shapes and sizes, filling the frame like parts of a mosaic. A portion of the Curiosity rover is visible at the bottom and lower left corner of the frame.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 2 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 128-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 123 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on October 15, 2024, Sol 4334 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2706, site number 109. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 3 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
