Sol 4346: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A grayscale panorama of the Martian surface shows a wide field of flat terrain dotted with flat, angular, medium-sized rocks, all in dark gray, stretching into the distance where a series of three hills rise from the ground, left to right on the horizon. A portion of the Curiosity rover is visible at the lower left corner of the image, and one wheel is visible in the lower right corner.

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 146 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on October 28, 2024, Sol 4346 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 840, site number 110. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 2 PM to 3 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
