Piercing through the haze of those faint ocher images captured on Sol 792, and just downlinked, reveals the eastern rim of Jezero Crater and the summit of Jezero Mons.

A creek with a view.
Large panoramas of Belva Crater captured from Echo Creek, where has been operating for a month now, in a new Mars Exploration post: https://mars.nasa.gov/news/9405/nasas-perseverance-rover-captures-view-of-mars-belva-crater/

"The science team suspects the large boulders in the foreground are either chunks of bedrock exposed by the meteorite impact or that they may have been transported into the crater by the river system."

The image is a sample from the red/blue 3D anaglyph on that post:

Map showing the new name Echo Creek where captured the panoramas in the post linked above. On Sol 772 the rover was at RMC 39.0650, where it abraded a rock, which got the name Solitude Lake.

moved ~6m to the north, possibly positioning itself better for some upcoming proximity science. The Uzel Falls abrasion is about 3m in front and to the right of the rover.

The white dashed track is an estimate of tosol's move.

The map was drawn using 's data on () DTM and, of course, @qgis

Burroughs and Bradbury Point are now localized with certainty, using my Little Assistant™to search for cities and other geographical features. It came back with a treasure trove of results, but also made it clear that putting them in order will not be as easy as it seemed before.

As it turns out, the city Burroughs that came to be considered the "capital" of Mars before it was destroyed, was just 225km ESE of Jezero Crater!

New location estimate for on Sol 770: RMC 39.0605, ~100m to the north. The view to Belvas's interior from that location is much better, as predicted 6 sols ago 😊 : https://mastodon.social/@65dBnoise/110196608781163161

New location estimate for , about 110m to the north, very close to the rim of Belva Crater. Site number changed to 39, meaning there may be close proximity science, maybe a sample?

The map shows a guesstimated path with an intermediate stop. The green area is the field-of-view of the NAVCAM image used for the .
