  1. A Stereo3D view captured today by Perseverance, as the rover gets closer to the edge of the rim of Jezero Crater

    To go 3D: eyes' lines of sight parallel/left image for left eye/right image for right eye.

  2. Perseverance has been climbing on this rocky mound, as shown by these two shots from the front hazard avoidance cameras. That's why we've been getting unusually tilted views from the navigation cameras...

  6. 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).

  7. Perseverance, just two hours ago, contemplating the vast unknown expanses west of the rim of Jezero Crater.

    Note the bright spot below the horizon at center: probably a dust devil!

  8. Perseverance Rover to Begin Long Climb Up Martian Crater Rim

    Priority regions to study at the top of the crater are nicknamed “Witch Hazel Hill” and “Pico Turquino”, which contains ancient fractures that may have been caused by past hydrothermal activity.
