Today I happened to leave Jezero crater 🙃

There's a lot happening in that closeup, great color work!

But don't zoom & rotate too much, maybe you get a scare 😬

I forgot that animated gifs have to be movies in bluesky 🤦‍♂️, here's the full file for the first post (it's nice with an edit function on the fedi mastodon.social/@sharponlook...)

This corresponds to CBMD-a in these preliminary results to be presented at #EPSC2025:

Impact crater caused by (possibly) a piece of #PerseveranceRover cruise stage.

Comparison between HIRISE images from 2012, 2021 and 2024. Approximately 70km NW of #JezeroCrater: muted.uni-muenster.de?x=76.208&y=1...

If you liked the quoted cloudy panorama by @stim3on.bsky.social, there's a relevant current #Zooniverse project: www.zooniverse.org/projects/mat... with #MavenMission UV mosaics.

Not a simple task, but a good one to grasp how much activity there is in the Mars atmosphere.

Personally, I was still a bit confused by the wavy ridge of the minor lobe, but with some color editing, it now looks to me that we are seeing part of the inner wall of a huge crater hollowing the lobe?

I was surprised by this bit. Already during my time in Britain in the mid 1990s, a work colleague from Sunderland proudly mentioned this as fact when he heard where I came from. I think you need to talk to people in Sunderland, because there seems to be a story there 😉

Amazing indeed!!!

Allegiances are going to be tested in this household 😉

Exquisite work! 👍 I took the liberty of rotating the 2nd one a bit, it gives a better sense of orientation. The detail and the lightning are great input for seeing how some of the small features that might look like the leopard spots from Cheyava, are probably impact spherules in this case.

I remembered having seen the photo years ago, maybe in the club's museum, so much raw feeling of a bygone era! But it wasn't until recently my ama saw it and recognized her dad in it, made us all really happy.

Copies now received and they were 2nd edition, yay!

I'll definitely get a 3rd edition for myself if you include that classic photo of Zarra, which features my grandfather in the stands sporting a (I'm guessing red&white) striped tie 😉

Could be Sam Eagle, but "this parrot is no more, it has ceased to be" fits better 🙃
