NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 34 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 185 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on October 19, 2025, Sols 4693-4687 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 1722, site number 119. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 2 PM to 12 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
