Sol 4336: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A grayscale panoramic image of the Martian surface shows dark skies and ground, where the rolling terrain is marked by uneven slabs of rock covered in some areas by soil and small rocks. In the background, gently sloped, layered rock hills rise above the ground at top left and right. The hill on the right is hiding the Sun, which is illuminating the only bright area in the picture, the sky above and to the sides of the hill. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible at the left, right, and bottom edges of the extreme wide-angle 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 129 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on October 18, 2024, Sol 4336 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 0, site number 110. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 5 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
