    @PaulHammond51 reminds me that today is the 5th anniversary of #Perseverance landing on the surface of #Mars, hanging under the #SkyCrane as seen in this #OutOfThisWorld image it captured the moment the umbilical cord connecting them was cut, and the Sky Crane veered off to a heroic crash about 900m NW.

    That's no meteorite, that's a fossilized xenomorph.

    The state of the space exploration that should really matter, and why we have to rely on enthusiasts (thx @PaulHammond51 @65dBnoise ) for timely updates nowadays 😢 #PerseveranceRover

    Was not expecting that U-turn 🤔 Maybe some of the post drilling data was corrupted which forced a return? Time will tell :)

    Here's the 360 NavCam, maps and drive data

    Meanwhile on Mars:
    For those that have been following along. After several days of robotic arm gymnastics, the slab of rock that was stuck on Curiosity Rover's drill bit has finally been liberated.

    This was not on my Mars Bingo Card.

    Curiosity rover lifts the rock that is stuck to its drill, gives it a shake which liberated some loose material, but fails to dislodge the errant rock on Sol 4881 (April 30, 2026). The team has an option to eject the drill bit assembly and use one of its spare drill bits, but I assume that will be the last resort. Animated HazCam GIF with timestamps.

    Meanwhile in Gale Crater.

    In this animated GIF we can see dust cascading from the rock that appears to have been lifted by Curiosity's drill bit. The timestamps show the 9 HazCam images were acquired over 15 minutes on Sol 4879 (April 28, 2026). I'm assuming the dust was liberated by the operation of one of the voice coils in the drill. This attempt to free the drill bit does not appear to have been successful.

    Meanwhile on Mars:
    Did Curiosity Rover just lift a rock after drilling into it? Here's a short animation of its drilling operation with timestamps on front HazCam images from Sol 4877 (April 26, 2026)

    The first subframe image shows the drill above the target prior to drilling, the next four images show last images of the drilling phase. The last frame was acquired after they raised the robotic arm.

    Now we have to wait for the samples page to be updated, then we'll know how small it is :)

    Drive on sol 1254 - Looks like they either fancied checking out the exposed rocks to the east side of the waypoint reached on sol 1253, or they wanted to get away from the soft regolith that appears could have halted the 1253 drive after ~3 meters.

    Approximate locations of Perseverance rover and its sidekick Ingenuity helicopter during Sol 1250 (August 26, 2024) The view is looking due west, and shows the rover climbing up towards the crater rim.

    Managed to add 2 additional tiles to one of the 4-tile NavCams acquired by Perseverance rover after its drive on sol 1246. If you think this vista is special, it's only going to get better as the rover climbs higher towards the crater rim.

    Gamefinds: Wor Games
    This one's another of Paul Hammond's series of classic arcade games recreated in Pico-something. Most of these have been in Pico-8, but today's find uses its more-powerful successor, Picotron. To us end users though, the result isn't that different.

    Wor Games is a remake of Bally's classic arcade game Wizard of Wor, probab
