A very interesting closeup of a rock next to #Perseverance, showing some intriguing curved stripes. Millimeter scale.

More stripes and dark spots under close examination with artificial light at night by #Perseverance's WATSON instrument. The 3rd img is a composite with both day and night illumination.

@65dBnoise Hi, Is it false color? Or how would we see it here on Earth?

@JoseAC
No, not false color, the first two are illuminated by artificial light at night. The third is a composition/mix of 2 images captured under artificial and natural light, which brings up details from both of them, so rather kind like a super-reality. Both WATSON's and MCZ's colors are close to what we'd be seeing on Earth.

How those colors would be perceived in reality on Mars by a human, what *impression* they would make, is yet to be determined 🙂
