A grayscale panorama of the Martian surface shows a wide field of flat, dark gray terrain dotted with flat, angular, medium-sized rocks stretching into the distance where a series of three hills rise from the ground, left to right on the horizon, the middle one lower on the horizon and farther away than the others. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible at the bottom of the image, including one wheel visible in the lower right corner and another at the bottom center of the frame.

A grayscale panorama of the Martian surface, possibly at night or in twilight, shows a wide field of flat, dark gray terrain dotted with flat, angular, medium-sized rocks, lighter gray, stretching into the distance where a pair of hills rise from the ground on the horizon. A bright light illuminates a small part of the sky, off the frame and above the smaller hill on the right. A third hill begins to slope upward on the horizon, at the right edge of the frame. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible at the bottom of the image, including a wheel visible in the bottom center of the frame, and two others in the lower right corner.

Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible at the bottom of the image, including two wheels visible in the lower right corner of the frame, and a third at the bottom center of the frame. The pale gray sky grows much brighter at center horizon, as if the Sun is either setting or rising.

Mars 2020: Perseverance Rover

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover took this selfie on July 23, 2024, the 1,218th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. To the left of the rover near the center of the image is the arrowhead-shaped rock nicknamed “Cheyava Falls,” which has features that may bear on the question of whether Mars was home to microscopic life in the distant past. The small dark hole in the rock is where Perseverance took a core sample, which is now in a sample tube stored in the rover’s belly. The white patch to the right of the hole is where the rover used an abrasion tool to clear away the top surface, allowing science instruments to study the rock’s composition.
