Sol 4380: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A grayscale partial 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 three 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 of the frame.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 24 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 229 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on December 02, 2024, Sol 4380 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 1824, site number 111. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 2 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
