Martian Rocks Natural Color View video 2

The panorama shows sedimentary rocks of great interest to scientists. The Perseverance rover has abraded the surface of several rocks in this area and acquired compositional information. It also has collected rock samples that the Mars Sample Return campaign could bring back to Earth in the future, enabling detailed laboratory studies as part of a search for signs of ancient life. These images were taken in 2022 on June 12, 13, 16, 17, and 20; the 466th, 467th, 470th, 471st, and 474th Martian days, or sols, of Perseverance’s mission.
