#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…

No sign of mega-sunspots on the other side of the sun, at least as seen by #Perseverance using its MastCamZ from Jezero, Mars.

#Perseverance is getting closer to the lowest point of this part of its route to Lac De Charmes (https://mastodon.social/@65dBnoise/115651892286010751). It looks like one more drive and it will be there, unless it finds something interesting before that 🥴 .

Two more drives and #Perseverance will reach the lowest point of this area, where satellite imagery shows exposed bedrock thinly covered by regolith ripples (cyan ellipse).
If the geology proves interesting (IANAG), it is possible that the rover will spend the upcoming solar conjunction hiatus there (Jan 9, ± 1 week).
