#Perseverance observing in the cool of the night (it's winter in Jezero, so -80 to -90°C) an apparently crystalline structure in the interior of the recent abrasion in the area north of Lac De Charmes (for lack of a named place nearby)

Pure red
(Mayday on Mars)

It may be just a 1mm red speck inside the pit of the recent abrasion, but I can't recall ever seeing that red a speck on Mars before 🤔
