  8. Perseverance Rover at 'Falbreen':

    The rover used its Mastcam-Z camera to capture this 360-degree panorama of an area nicknamed "Falbreen" on May 26, 2025 (Sol 1516) Ninety-six separate images were stitched together to make the panorama.

    Check out the 3 full size versions of this panorama along with all the details on photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/cata

  9. It may have moved, but Perseverance rover managed to abrade some of the targets weathered surface for further investigation. Here's two images from Sol 1567 (July 17, 2025), a processed NavCam tile (for context), and a close-up of the patch from the SHERLOC WATSON camera (mounted on the turret next to the drill). For scale the patch has a diameter of about 2 inches (5 cm) - Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

  10. Pushing a rock around on Mars! Time lapse from Perseverance Rover's HazCam (timestamps included). Watch closely, to see the movement of the shadows from the robotic arm, the rock, the sand grains, the drill mechanism, and the dust all moving around. Animation of 15 images taken about 1 minute apart, the duration was about 13 minutes on sol 1565 (July 15, 2025).

  11. Mars Cleans Perseverance and Erases Its Work:
    Mars Guy - Episode 222.
    Perseverance is a robotic field geologist observing the aftermath of events that occurred millions to billions of years ago. But it's also a witness to events happening today that have shaped the surface of Mars across geologic time.

  12. Meanwhile on Mars!

    A short drive (bump) sees Perseverance rover move to a new robotic arm workspace. The attached processed image uses 6 overlapping NavCam tiles. The image tiles were acquired after the drive to RMC site 77.0, during mission sol 1551 (July 1, 2025). The image was assembled in MS-ICE. Also attached is the drive data, including a few basic statistics.

  13. Meanwhile on Mars!

    Another drive in the crater rim campaign / walkabout, sees Perseverance rover still searching for a site to collect a core sample. Here's a composite image using 6 overlapping processed NavCam tiles, that were acquired after the drive to RMC site 76.594 during Sol 1549 (June 29, 2025). The image was assembled in MS-ICE. Also find the drive data and a few statistics. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

  14. Curiosity spots distant honeycombs.

    Mars Guy: Episode 221.

    The Curiosity rover carries a small telescope that can provide close-up views of places it will never reach. Recently its color camera viewed distant layered rocks that look interesting, but through its telescope they’re truly anomalous.

  20. Meanwhile on Mars:
    Perseverance rover checking out its coring bit and the fractured bedrock that broke up during drilling (image center). Attached is a 9-tile processed NavCam [3854x2894px] of the workspace, and a MastCam-Z image of the drill and its coring bit. No sign of a core in the drill bit in these images from sol 1535 (June 14, 2025)

  21. Meanwhile on Mars!

    Perseverance rover images its latest abrasion patch. For scale the patch has a diameter of about 5 cm (2") This image from its SHERLOC WATSON camera was acquired on June 5, 2025 (Sol 1526) at the local mean solar time of 12:26. Credits: NASA.JPL-Caltech.

  22. Perseverance rover using one of its abrasion bits in its rotary percussive drill, to remove the surface of a patch of rock during sol 1525 (June 4, 2025) for further investigation. The diameter of the bit is ~5 cm (2 inches).

    Attached is a quick and dirty animated GIF using just 3 raw HazCam tiles. Credits: NASA.JPL-Caltech.

  23. The latest abrasion patch on Mars. For scale the diameter of the patch is close to 5cm (2 inches). The image is a single NavCam tile from Perseverance rover and was snapped earlier today, May 23, 2025 or Mars solar day 1513 of its mission on Mars. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

  24. Selected tiled-NavCams after Perseverance rover's drive during sol 1512 (May 22, 2025) to site 74.0. Looks like a site that's ripe for contact science.

  25. Perseverance Rover on the move again. A drive on sol 1511 (May 21,2025) took the rover SSW and further down-slope. The drive duration was 143 minutes, but that included a pause to capture some images.

  26. Perseverance Views Deimos Before Sunrise: The rover captured this view of Deimos, the smaller of Mars' two moons, shining in the sky at 4:27 a.m. local time on March 1, 2025, (Sol 1433), in the dark before dawn, the rover's left navigation camera used its maximum long-exposure time of 3.28 seconds for each of 16 individual shots. In total, the image represents an exposure time of about 52 seconds. Regulus and Algieba are also seen.

  27. A Selfie from Perseverance Rover to celebrate 1,500 sols since landing.

    Assembled from 6 overlapping SHERLOC WATSON images using MS-ICE.

    The SHERLOC WATSON camera is mounted on the turret of the rover’s 2 meter long robotic arm.

    A wider view can be assembled, once all the images are returned to Earth.

    The images were acquired on sol 1500 (May 10, 2025)

  29. Perseverance rover imaged a drill bit on Sol 1494 with one of its MastCam-Z cameras. We can see a rock core inside its sample tube. I'm assuming this is the same core (#29) that was imaged inside the rover with its CacheCam several days ago. I'm not sure why it's been brought outside again, but one possible answer is that the core is stuck in its tube and preventing it being pushed down into the sample tube, to permit capping the tube.
