The Perseverance rover captured this scenic panorama a week ago on the afternoon of Sol 999 with the left Navigation camera.
In front of the rover lies Neretva Vallis and the Jezero Crater Rim where the mission is heading to in the future.

animated 360° panorama captured by the Perseverance Mars rover. It shows the rover standing on the reddish-brown surface of Mars in a field of large rocks. The sky is a hazy butterscotch color and afternoon sun has a bluish color around it. In front of the rover out in the distance the hills from Jezero crater rim can be seen, with a Neretva Vallis cutting through them. The rover is set to climb these hills in the future.

A few days ago on Sol 911, @NASAPersevere arrived at her new location in the Margin Carbonate Unit and captured this stunning panorama. 🧵

rotating video of a panorama captured by the Perseverance Mars rover. The camera looks down on the rover deck with its various instruments and cables. The terrain is reddish and has many flat bedrocks exposed on the surface in front of the rover. Behind the rover the terrain is more sandy and no bedrock is visible. The Sun is getting low between the hills of the Jezero crater wall.

The Perseverance Mars rover is now moving through a boulder field towards her next science target, the Margin Carbonate Unit. This panorama was taken on Sol 904 (September 6).

Seems like Mount Meeker is posing a challenge for
Perseverance's coring drill. This timelapse from yesterday shows the rover is trying to drill into the rock, but the drill assembly appears to slip away.

closeup timelapse of a lumpy and cracked mars rock with the rovers robotic arm positioned on it. A cylindrical coring drill is extending from the robotic arm trying to core into the rock. However the whole drill assembly appears to slip away to the side before the drill manages to penetrate the rock. The drill continues rotating afterwards but doesn't extend further into the rock.

Yesterday the Perseverance rover made a new abrasion at a rock named Mount Meeker. You can see the abrasion bit carve away on the rock and even what seems like dust being kicked up by it.

Today Perseverance made a new abrasion at a rock called Ypsilon Lake. The rover previously gave it a good dust-off with the GDRT, which cleans the surface with a blast of nitrogen and checked it out with the WATSON camera.

This is what landing on Mars looked like from the perspective of the Perseverance rover.

#Perseverance seems to be getting into astrophotography 🤩

This image, taken with the right Mastcam-Z camera was taken on Sol 785 just after local midnight.

You can see Phobos as a bright streak shining through the haze of the Martian Atmosphere.
