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 192 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on July 14, 2025, Sol 4598 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2166, site number 117. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 3 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
