You can train you eyes and increase your 3D viewing skills with this MastcamZ target onboard #Perseverance.

Those ring-like pads are actually Martian dust attracted there by magnets underneath the surface, so that the colored disks at their center remain dust-free.

While #Artemis2 is minutes from launching to the Moon after 54 years, #Perseverance sends its good luck wishes with the image of a rock.

The #Perseverance rover discovered light-toned, cobble-sized, aluminum-rich (30-45 wt% Al2O3) “float” rocks (rock fragments), with some exhibiting spectral signatures of kaolinite, an aluminum-rich clay mineral. These rocks […] likely represent some of the wettest intervals of Mars’ history.

For the time being (🥴) my prediction above seems wrong, but we'll see what comes next…

New location estimate:

Um… wasn't it a visual-language model that the #Mars2020 team tested last December?

Well, as it turns out, some of those models don't even need to see an image to provide a detailed description of what is in that non-existent image.

Yeah. Only possible with #AI
