#Perseverance has now arrived at the area called Broom's Point.

Tosol is Sol 1435 of the #Mars2020 mission, Lₛ is 52.1, and the local time in Jezero Crater is now 18:21.

The map was made with #QGIS and data from #NASA's #MMGIS, #HiRISE and #USGS

#Ingenuity amazed everyone in late April 2022, when it flew around and captured images of the parachute and backshell that brought #Perseverance and itself to #Mars.

Here, the parachute is seen from orbit through the eyes of #HiRISE, an instrument onboard #NASA's #MRO, launched back in 2005.

The animation spreads over 12 months but lasts only 3 seconds, so the parachute appears flapping.

#PPOD: Absolutely amazing #HiRISE image of #Mars. Polygons form in nature for many different reasons. In this case, it's due to intersecting dune ridges! If this deposit were to become indurated and eroded, we might not be able, from orbit, to tell that they originated as wind-blown dunes and interpret the polygons as evidence for a dried-up lake, for example.
