NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 25 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 256 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on May 05, 2025, Sol 4530 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2436, site number 115. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 3 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
