This scene is a composite of two NASA Perseverance rover Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) images, taken Saturday, 24 October 2026 at a local Jezero Crater time of 1:20 pm.
Colour and white balance adjusted to better match human vision.
Abraded material and drill tailings indicate where the rover has characterized and retrieved a sample from these rocks. That's not to say that the rover will take that sample onboard for long-term storage.
