After a long stop at Broom's Point, #Perseverance is back on its planned route down the northwest Jezero Crater rim. The path shown is a guess.

The map was made with #QGIS

More on what #Perseverance has been spending its time on these last few sols. Those spots are measured in μm rather than in mm.

Some interesting details from a very close distance. If that rock were on Earth, then there could be some barnacles there, maybe even a "leopard spot" on that rock at lower left, like those back at Cheyava Falls.

@jesusmargar
Here is a sample of the metadata that comes with *each* #Perseverance image. Did I say how much we love NASA for those? And why it hurts so much to see this stellar space agency lose funding and personnel to benefit subsidized private companies, who give NOTHING back to society?

#Perseverance backed a few meters away from the edge of the cliff called "Sally's Cove", but did it v e r y c a r e f u l l y. How do we know that? Because it did those few meters in 3 stops, capturing intermediate images, and taking time to send some back to Earth before proceeding (I presume).

Here are the receipts, but there is a problem: only the attitude quaternion changed in the metadata, while the XYZ parameters stayed fixed (should have changed, too)
