"Perseverance Rover Offers Panoramic Glimpse into Mars' Jezero Crater"

NASA's Perseverance rover celebrated 1,000 Martian days by releasing a 2.38-billion-pixel, 360-degree mosaic of Mars' Jezero Crater, captured using its Mastcam-Z. The images, taken on three different days, show the crater's geology and signs of ancient water activity. Scientists are particularly interested in a rocky outcrop that may be an old lava flow, which could help determine the history of water in the crater. The rover will continue to explore, seeking evidence of past microbial life and analyzing the crater's geological history.
