Considering the attention this #JezeroBrightRock has received, I'd say there 's probably more coming: a drilling operation to get a sample?

Detail and context images of #Perseverance's latest abrasion, and possible sample location (marked green).

@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.

Shocking Spherules!

Last week the Perseverance Science Team were astonished by a strange rock comprised of hundreds of millimeter-sized spheres… and the team are now working hard to understand their origin.

Two 360° panoramas captured by the Mars rover Perseverance, and recently released by the Mastcam-Z team at Arizona State University. They come in 2 flavors: "enhanced colors" and "natural colors".

1) Trout River/Shallow Bay, Sol 1399
2) South Arm, Sol 1412

Mars samples update: this is the hole drilled by Perseverance to acquire the "Silver Mountain" sample three days ago, at the "Shallow Bay" geological feature, at the Witch Hazel Hill site on the rim of Jezero Crater. Image captured today (Sol 1403).

A spaceworthy valve

The valve that helped soft-land both #Curiosity and #Perseverance with a #SkyCrane

#MSL #Mars2020 #NASA #Solarocks #Space

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.

The #MarsHelicopter flew its 24th flight on Sol 398; images were received in #NASA's raw image storage today, but had problems in the metadata. ImageID and Sol metadata were just corrected by #NASA. LMST was correct before. My mistake.

Here are some cropped parts showing fragments the #SkyCrane at a distance, and a possible one close.
