Sol 4446: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A grayscale panorama of the Martian surface 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. A bright light behind the hill illuminates a small part of the sky. To its left, other, smaller hills and buttes rise from the ground. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible at the bottom of the image, including a wheel visible in the bottom center of the frame, and another two in the lower right.

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 259 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on February 07, 2025, Sol 4446 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 306, site number 113. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 1 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
