Dark colored or not, that rock apparently wasn't interesting enough to get an abrasion, so #Perseverance moved on further to the SE.

Interesting dark colored rock, presumably puffed by #Perseverance's gas Dust Removal Tool (gDRT).

#Perseverance moved a little to the southeast, next to another rock, apparently of interest to Terran geologists.

Good Morning, all,

Cool use of magnets on Martian rovers:

Guessing #JPL couldn't fit an additional option on the robot arm - a feather duster.

That dust on Mars is magnetic and dust on Earth is not must prove Martians do not exist - isn't dust on Earth mostly dried skin that's flaked off human beings?

NASA’s MoonFall mission, managed by JPL, will blaze a path for future Artemis Moon missions by sending four propulsive drones to survey the lunar surface around the South Pole ahead of astronauts’ arrival there.
