Margin' up the Scar Rim!

.Considering that starting its own high drive up the crater rim, Perseverance has been negotiating along the side of the frame system (the scope of the scope!), a puzzling unit rich in carbonates, a mineral group carefully linked to habitability. Right here, the wanderer crew scouted out a pile of stone phoned "Presence Void," where Perseverance cleared away the dusty, timeworn area along with its own dependable abrading bit. The resulting abraded spot, called Eremita Mesa, is pictured above being actually looked into by Determination's proximity scientific research tools placed on its own robotic arm. This consists of taking close-up pictures to take a look at the millimeter-scale bits that comprise the rock, making use of the WATSON (Wide Angle Topographic Sensing Unit for Operations and eNgineering) camera, which works as Perseverance's cumulative glass.
