Looks like Mars rover Perseverance abraded the flat rock it was looking at a few days ago. It then used the SHERLOC instrument to analyze the exposed rock patch.
SHERLOC, the Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman & Luminescence for Organics & Chemicals uses cameras, spectrometers, and a UV laser to search for organics and minerals that have been altered by watery environments and maybe signs of past microbial life.
I don't feel the need for a "citizen website" like junocam does. Anyone can follow Andrea or Kevin's media profiles and get an improved "citizen space image" job
