Perseverance posts 360-degree view of dusty Neretva Vallis
NASA released a 360-degree Mastcam-Z mosaic of Neretva Vallis in Jezero Crater, stitched from 217 images taken May 20, 2024, on sol 1,155.
NASA on Monday posted a 360-degree mosaic of Neretva Vallis inside Mars' Jezero Crater, assembled from 217 images taken by Perseverance's Mastcam-Z on May 20, 2024, the mission's 1,155th Martian day1.
The agency said the scene is a wind-swept dusty vista today and that billions of years ago the site was a river channel that fed fresh water into Jezero Crater1.
NASA said the image is an enhanced-color version, with color bands processed to improve visual contrast and accentuate color differences1.
Arizona State University leads Mastcam-Z operations, working with Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego and the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen on the cameras and calibration targets, NASA said1. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, managed for the agency by Caltech, built Perseverance and manages rover operations1.
