NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover used its Mastcam-Z instrument to capture this 360-degree view of a region on Mars called “Bright Angel,” where an ancient river flowed billions of years ago. The panorama was captured on June 12, 2024, the 1,178th Martian day, or sol, of the mission, and is made up of 346 individual images that were stitched together after being sent back to Earth. The color has been enhanced to bring out subtle details.
It was not far from here that the rover took a sample at a rock dubbed “Cheyava Falls,” finding one of the most exciting discoveries of the mission thus far. Cheyava Falls is slightly right of center, about 361 feet (110 meters) from the rover.
Also visible is Perseverance itself, though not all of the rover was imaged in this panorama. The rover’s mast, or “head,” is visible in silhouette at bottom center.
