NASA’s Perseverance rover captured an image on May 13 (Sol 1859) with the Mastcam-Z cameras showing a small stack of rocks on the Martian surface. Scientists say it’s more likely the stack formed by wind erosion (or ancient water exposing and splitting a rock) rather than a deliberate or human-made arrangement, fitting Mars’ wind-dominated geology.
NASA's Perseverance rover captured a video of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter's 47th takeoff on March 9, 2023. The video shows the dust kicked up by the helicopter's rotors as it takes off and begins its 1,444-foot journey to the southwest. The Mastcam-Z imager aboard the rover captured the footage from a distance of 394 feet. The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and is supported by NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
