An image captured by #Perseverance while at the Bacon Strip, showing an unbelievable overhang (a roof?) of a rock at a nearby outcrop. Mars has ⅓ of Earth's gravity.

@65dBnoise I still think this one won the trophy (pun intended) at that location 🙃

Since we are here, this is a 3D composite of it for cross-eyed viewing.

@65dBnoise @sharponlooker is that the right way round? to my eyes it looks like the closest rock (at the bottom of the image) is a hole inside the surrounding one.

It is, but it's far enough and zoomed in that the resulting parallax is small. Maybe if you look at the rocks on the right beyond the "sculpture" at full resolution you'll see the depth.
