Assembled from 6 overlapping WATSON images using MS-ICE.
The WATSON camera is mounted on the turret of rover's 2 meter long robotic arm.
A wider view can be assembled, once all the images are returned to Earth.
The images were acquired on sol 1500 (May 10, 2025)

Always interesting how it looks exactly like earth with a different color temperature.

Looks a bit like Mexico viewed from Hollywood.

Interesting to see all the dust gathering around the body parts. There's been some work on electrodynamic dust mitigation (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0094576511001883).
It can be a problem, especially when covering solar panels or optics.

What an inspiring pic... You can tell that Rover has been through it...Amazing that were all the way here on little old earth controlling this piece of us. What man can accomplish together, when we care about the right things.

Its older cousin (Curiosity Rover) is still trekking on the other side of Mars, right now it is the evening of sol 4537 and the rover has had another busy day exploring Gale crater. It's been exploring Gale since August 2012. Here's the data/ stats after its most recent drive a few days ago :)
Hopefully Perseverance will still be trekking after a similar time on Mars
