In a matter of just a few days, Perseverance will crest the rim of Jezero Crater at a location called Lookout Hill. Here it is pinpointed, as well as her approximate current position (x), on a shot captured by the rover back in April 2021, at Van Zyl Overlook.

Perseverance rover has reached the top of the rim of Jezero Crater! On this picture captured 4 hours ago we can see the west side of the rim, a landscape never seen before to the rover, on the left, and the east side, that Percy has already explored, on the right.

#PhotoOfTheDay: #Mimas: Small #Moon with a Big #Crater
Whatever hit Mimas nearly destroyed it. What remains is one of the largest impact craters on one of Saturn's smallest round moons. Analysis indicates that a slightly larger impact would have destroyed Mimas entirely.
The huge crater, named #Herschel, spans about 130 kilometers and is featured here.

Opportunity meets Gumdrop
Named after the Apollo 9 command module's nickname, Gumdrop is a small crater (6 meters diameter) located on the edge of a larger, dark, filled-in crater. It was captured by the Opportunity Rover on May 30, 2011 (Sol 2612); full credits in ALT.

#Earth sets on April 6, 2026, over the #Moon’s curved limb in this photo captured by the #Artemis II crew during their journey around the far side of the Moon.
#Orientale basin is perched on the edge of the visible lunar surface. #Hertzsprung Basin appears as two subtle concentric rings, which are interrupted by #Vavilov, a younger #crater superimposed over the older structure.
The lines of indentations are secondary crater chains formed by ejecta from the massive impact that created Orientale.
The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime.
On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.
