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 a small hill rises from the ground. Features on the horizon are silhouetted by a bright, gray sky beyond, and what looks like a fog bank rests on the horizon beyond the hill, stretching horizontally about halfway up the visible sky. A portion of the top deck of the Curiosity rover and two of its wheels are visible at the right side and bottom of the frame; more of the rover is visible at the bottom left and lower left corner of the image.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 12 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 293-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 240 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.
