Margin' up the Scar Edge!

.Because beginning its steep drive up the scar edge, Perseverance has actually been travelling over along the edge of the scope unit (the scope of the margin!), an enigmatic unit abundant in carbonates, a mineral group closely connected to habitability. Here, the wanderer team checked a pile of rock contacted "Presence Chasm," where Perseverance cleared away the dusty, weathered surface with its own trusty abrading bit. The resulting abraded patch, contacted Eremita Mesa, is actually pictured above being investigated through Willpower's closeness scientific research guitars installed on its own robotic arm. This features taking view photos to examine the millimeter-scale bits that make up the rock, utilizing the WATSON (Wide Slant Topographic Sensor for Procedures and also design) electronic camera, which functions as Perseverance's cumulative glass.
