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...

Perseverance acquired this large mosaic yesterday from the westernmost point ever reached on her journey, capturing in great details new vistas of the upper course of Neretva Vallis and beyond.

Mosaic captured two days ago by Perseverance at Broom Point after a short drive northward, exploring the geology of the lower slopes of the Witch Hazel Hill area, on the Jezero crater rim.

Shocking Spherules!

Last week the Perseverance Science Team were astonished by a strange rock comprised of hundreds of millimeter-sized spheres… and the team are now working hard to understand their origin.

This image from NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover, a fusion-processed SuperCam Remote Micro Imager (RMI) mosaic, shows part of the “St. Pauls Bay” target, acquired from the lower Witch Hazel Hill area of the Jezero crater rim. The image reveals hundreds of strange, spherical-shaped objects comprising the rock. Perseverance acquired this image on March 11, 2025, or sol 1442 — Martian day 1,442 of the Mars 2020 mission.

Just a few sols after successfully sealing the challenging Green Gardens core, Perseverance roved on to the Broom Point workspace to collect another sample called Main River.

Perseverance rover mission update, on the sampling attempts at the "Cat Arm Reservoir" site. Current target is “Serpentine Lake”, with signatures of minerals like serpentine, which form in the presence of water. The plan is to drive downhill to “Broom Point”, where more discoveries await!
