Margin’ up the Crater Rim!
To conclude its exploration of the mysterious margin unit before it ascends the rim of Jezero Crater, Perseverance made one last stop this past week to investigate these strange rocks at Eremita Mesa. Since beginning its steep drive up the crater rim, Perseverance has been traversing along the edge of the margin unit the margin . https://science.nasa.gov/b...#nasa #space #news #nasa_blogs #nasa_general #nasa_ames_research_center #nasa_artemis #nasa_artemis_3 #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_star -forming_nebulae #nasa_heliophysics #nasa_heliosphere #nasa_the_solar_system #nasa_the_sun #nasa_voyager_1 #nasa_voyager_2 #nasa_voyager_program #nasa_people_of_goddard #nasa_earth #nasa_ice_ &_glaciers #nasa_learning_resources #nasa_people_of_nasa #nasa_nasa_history #nasa_sts -64 #nasa_scientific_balloons
