#perseverance — Public Fediverse posts

Observations like this, and probably others we haven't noticed, may be the answer to why #Perseverance has been going in circles up and down, left and right in this wide area called Lac De Charmes.

A quotation from Victor Hugo

He had slipped, climbed, rolled, searched, walked, persevered, that is all. Such is the secret of all triumphs.
 
[Il avait glissé, grimpé, roulé, cherché, marché, persévéré, voilà tout. Secret de tous les triomphes.]

Victor Hugo (1802–1885) French writer, journalist, human rights activist, politician
The Man Who Laughs [L’Homme qui rit; The Laughing Man; By Order of the King], Part 1, Book 3, ch. 1 (1.3.1) (1869) [tr. Unknown, Authorized (1871)]

👀 Very interesting dark spots on a rock next to #Perseverance, when it was at RMC 90.0000, 20 sols earlier.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/117059678803707598

Because #Perseverance has not had to spend much time stopped to wait ⏳ for navigation commands from drivers on Earth, the vehicle has been able to maximize the amount of #scientific return.

NASA's #Perseverance is a car-sized robotic rover exploring Mars. It landed on February 18, 2021, inside Jezero Crater to search for signs of ancient microbial life, collect rock and soil samples, and study the planet's climate and geology.

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:

That would have been the first crater to be closely examined by #Perseverance, but apparently it wasn't meant to be. Before even the digital ink in which my post was writen was dry, the rover moved once again, and is now past that little crater.

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?

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 😨
