Intriguing light colors and texture of a little rock seen by #Perseverance's WATSON instrument, at site 91. Reminds me of that other one, seen at RMC 52.4312 on Sol 1164, more than two years ago:

Animation of HELI_NAV images captured during flight 17 of #Ingenuity (Dec 5, 2021).
Processed, undistorted and stabilized, they give a dramatic impression of the regolith megaripple environment of an area called Seitah, where the #MarsHelicopter spent a year flying and scouting for the rover #Perseverance.
Of course the heli's shadow is an eye catcher, but if you look at the rest of the frame you may see some megaripples take the shape of strange creatures 😨

#Perseverance is still turning in circles west of Lac De Charmes. Although ¹IANAG™, I suspect the geologists in its team are trying to establish what the conditions were in that area *before* it got hit by the Jazero metor that created the 45km crater.

Apparently #Perseverance is looking for something interesting there, but we don't know what. The #Mars2020 mission page was last updated on Dec 19, 2025.
(It's space economy stupid, says a voice from the past)
Nevertheless, the rover keeps on going. New location on Sol 1927, RMC 89.4246
