Dnes 29.5.2025 ve ~23:15 UTC na Marsu začíná nové roční období. Na severní polokouli v kráteru Jezero, kde se nachází Perseverance, začne v ~23:58 LMST (sol 1519) léto a v kráteru Gale na jižní polokouli začne ve ~03:58 LMST (sol 4555) pro Curiosity zima.

Dnešní ráno UTC (19.5.2025 / sol 1509) pokračovala Perseverance v cestě podél plánované trasy. Její jízda směřovala 228 m přibližně jižním směrem a nové snímky z nového místa pořídila kamerami HazCam v 06:11 UTC / 13:47 LMST.

Curiosity Looks Downslope From the Sulfate Unit

An ochre toned mosaic capturing a Martian landscape. NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured this view looking back down at the floor of Gale Crater from its location on Mount Sharp on Feb. 7, 2025, the 4,447th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Curiosity was continuing its climb through a region of the mountain called the sulfate-bearing unit. Mount Sharp is a 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) mountain made up of a number of layers, all of which formed in different eras of Martian history. By studying each layer, the rover's team can learn more about how the Martian environment changed over time from a warmer, wetter, and more Earthlike world to the freezing desert it is today. The mountain is inside of Gale Crater, formed by an ancient asteroid impact. What appears to be a mountain range in the distance of this scene is in fact the crater's rim. The color in these images has been adjusted to match the lighting conditions as the human eye would see them on Earth. Curiosity was built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed by Caltech in Pasadena, California. JPL leads the mission on behalf of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

#Mars Mar. 9, 2025 (Sol 4476) 🧪🔭
📷 NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS; Release Date: Apr. 24, 2025
An ochre toned mosaic capturing a Martian landscape. NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to capture this panorama in morning light on March 9, 2025, the 4,476th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Steep hills on the left side of the panorama enclose wind-carved valleys on Mount Sharp, the mountain that Curiosity has been climbing for over a decade. Broken-up, rounded rocks throughout the foreground are part of the mountain's sulfate-bearing unit. The butte in the distance at right is nicknamed "Gould Mesa." A band of cliffs and dark ridges near the top of the butte may be the first glimpses of boxwork formations, a kind of feature created by groundwater flowing through large bedrock fractures in the ancient past. Assuming that is how they formed, these could represent the last gasps of water found on this region of Mars before the planet dried out completely. Before now, these features had only been viewed from orbiting spacecraft, to which they appeared as spiderweb-like fractures. This pattern of fractures stretches as long as 6 to 12 miles (10 to 20 kilometers) across the side of Mount Sharp. The rover's team expects to study these formations up close throughout the rest of 2025. The color in these images has been adjusted to match lighting conditions as the human eye would see them on Earth. Curiosity was built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed by Caltech in Pasadena, California. JPL leads the mission on behalf of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego built and operates Mastcam.
