Sol 4443: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A grayscale panorama of the Martian surface, brightly lit, shows a wide field of flat, dark gray terrain dotted with flat, angular, medium-sized rocks, lighter gray, stretching into the distance where a pyramid-shaped hill rises from the ground on the horizon, just to the right of image center. To its left. smaller hills at varying distances rise up, and at far left a larger butte rises from the ground, looking like a pyramid with the top half sheared off. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible along the bottom of the image, including a wheel in the bottom center of the frame and two others in the lower-right corner.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 32 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 227 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on February 04, 2025, Sols 4443-4442 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2826, site number 112. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 2 PM to 12 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
