  1. Another of those #JezeroBrightRocks. This one looks rather curly 🙃

  3. @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.

  4. Here is something that looks like one of those thermal blanket fragments from the #SkyCrane which brought #Perseverance onto the Martian surface and then rocketed away and crashed about 670m NW of the Octavia E. Butler landing site.

    Only... that crash site is now about 6.2km ESE of #Perseverance

    Animated zoom. Map follows.
