A 34-images Mastcam mosaic captured today by Perseverance. Jezero Crater is shrouded in the dust uplifted by a regional dust storm. Still we get a pretty good view of the entire fan-shaped delta!

Very dusty yet beautiful: Valinor Hills, where Ingenuity has fallen, captured by Perseverance's Mastcam Zoom camera, from her vantage viewpoint on the slopes of the crater rim.
