Hello rock
New location for #Perseverance, deeper into the regolith mega-ripples.

#Perseverance moved a little again. These days a simple detour around a regolith bump seems to be a real feat for the rover, and to take ages to plan and complete.
Oh, then… maybe that Visual Language Model, a.k.a. "AI" is involved again? That could explain the extreme caution of the operators that we are witnessing.
But that's just speculation. We've been living in the dark since the team's last report in December last year.

#Perseverance either drove into a dead end and is now surrounded by heaps of sand, or found something interesting there, which we don't see yet…

After a very long stay at Pine Pond #Perseverance has now moved further down hill, apparently reaching the bottom of the Witch Hazel Hill area, where it has spent the last 120 sols examining rocks.
The path shown is a guess. Elevations are from the Octavia E. Butler landing location.
The map was made in #QGIS, using #NASA's #MMGIS and #HiRISE and #USGS imagery and DTMs.
#Perseverance has now arrived at the area called Broom's Point.
Tosol is Sol 1435 of the #Mars2020 mission, Lₛ is 52.1, and the local time in Jezero Crater is now 18:21.

#Perseverance's 5th campaign, named Northern Rim, on the map (comes out being about 9km from Lookout Hill to Singing Canyon).
Now, if you call this part of *western* Jezero Crater 'northern', then it follows that there will also be a *southern* rim campaign in the future 😎
