There's a few new #JezeroDeltaScience talks & posters at #AGU24, but only abstracts available in the schedule that I could find. Here's a couple covering Bright Angel, Mount Washburn & #AtokoPoint , you can find related ones at the bottom of each.

An 18-images Mastcam-Z mosaic of the Mount Washburn outcrop located in the heart of Neretva Vallis, together with a zoom on “Atoko Point”, the bright boulder with dark speckles, captured May 27, 2024 (Sol 1162). Natural color images generated by the Mastcam-Z Downlink team at Arizona State University.

The Mastcam-Z team at Arizona State University has just released their natural color image processing of a batch of images captured by Perseverance between Sol 1150 and Sol 1176, including this view of "Atoko Point", the bright boulder with dark speckles. Beautiful!

Mars+Arizona TIL moments

Today I learn that this bright, epic Martian boulder with dark speckles has a name: Atoko Point

Then I learn that Atoko Point is a cliff of the Grand Canyon by the Walhalla Plateau in Coconino county, Arizona.

You're welcome.

Bright Rocks and “Bright Angel” - NASA Science

Last week the Perseverance rover descended into Neretva Vallis, an ancient river channel that brought water into Jezero Crater billions of years ago. Rocks found in Neretva Vallis could have come from far upstream, giving us the opportunity to examine material which may have come from many kilometers away. Turning north into the channel has […]
