NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 27 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 258 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on August 15, 2025, Sol 4629 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 1194, site number 118. 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.
