Sol 4369: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A grayscale panorama of the Martian surface shows a wide field of flat, dark gray terrain dotted with flat, angular, medium-sized rocks, all in lighter gray, stretching into the distance where a series of four hills rise from the ground, left to right on the horizon. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible at the bottom of the image, including two wheels visible in the lower right corner and a third at the bottom center of the frame.

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 231 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on November 20, 2024, Sol 4369 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 1116, site number 111. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 1 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
