Margin' up the Crater Rim!

.Because starting its own high drive up the sinkhole rim, Determination has been traversing along the edge of the margin system (the margin of the scope!), an enigmatic unit wealthy in carbonates, a nutrient group very closely connected to habitability. Right here, the vagabond group scouted out a mound of rock called "Specter Chasm," where Perseverance eliminated the messy, weathered surface area along with its own reliable abrading bit. The resulting abraded spot, phoned Eremita Mesa, is visualized above being actually explored by Willpower's distance science instruments mounted on its robot arm. This includes taking close-up images to take a look at the millimeter-scale fragments that make up the stone, making use of the WATSON (Wide Slant Topographic Sensor for Workflow as well as design) camera, which works as Perseverance's magnifying glass.
