Sol 4462: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A grayscale wide-angle view of the Martian surface, showing very rocky terrain in front of the Curiosity rover. Dark gray rocks — some wide and flat, others smaller and sharp-edged poking from the ground — are scattered among the dark gray soil. Some areas of the soil are wavy, as if sculpted at some point by wind or water. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible in the lower-left and lower-right corners of the image.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 2 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 124-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 194 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on February 24, 2025, Sol 4462 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2040, site number 113. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 3 PM to 4 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
