  1. 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:

  3. The Interface

    (IANAG™, so please forgive my naming habits 🙃)

    Where #Perseverance may have been driving to.

  5. New sol, new location, new site number 91. Relative to site coordinates x, y, z are reset to zero, so this is mostly guesswork.

    That interface between smooth and rocky terrain ahead may be it. The destination.

  7. Hm… 🤔
    I suspect #Perseverance is going to examine that apparently recent (geologically) crater seen in the map and in the NAVCAM image below (FOV in green). Where else could it be going, given tosol's drive?

  9. 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 😨

  15. On the go again, but no idea where to.

    The path shown is a guess. Your guess would be as good as mine.

  17. Still not sure it moved on toward a new area, or it's going back to that swarm of previous sites 85, 86 and 87.

    New location: RMC 90.2288, on Sol 1940. The path is guessed.

  24. #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.

  30. Icecream rock

    Incidentally, it's dry-ice cold there on Mars, and burning hot here on (northern hemisphere) Terra.

    Contrast is how the universe knows it exists.

  34. 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
