September 9, 2026: Pit stop! In the middle of a 3-sol (Martian day) drive to a new location called Idubi, the Perseverance rover made a stop to capture this stunning Mastcam-Z mosaic of Shishangeni Crater. Because Perseverance is equipped with auto-navigation capabilities, the Mars 2020 operations team can tell the rover where to stop during its drive to take mosaics like this and can trust the rover to take the images once it determines it’s where it needs to be. In the picture, we can see ejecta from the 25-meter wide crater impact off to the right side. This mosaic is made up of 26 individual frames and has been created with an enhanced-color stretch to show greater visual contrast. Credit image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS.

A black and white panorama capturing a Martian landscape, with the UHF antenna of the rover in the foreground to the right. The tracks of the rover go across a fine sand ripple barring the view. This panorama is obtained by stitching together four images acquired by the left navigation camera.
