Sol 4350: 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 three hills rise from the ground, with the ones at left and center being higher and wider than the one on the right. Features on the horizon are silhouetted by a gray sky beyond. A portion of the Curiosity rover and two of its wheels are visible at the bottom right corner of the frame; more of the rover is visible at the bottom and 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 160 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on November 01, 2024, Sol 4350 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 862, site number 110. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 4 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
