NASA\u2019s Perseverance rover<\/a> recently took a self-portrait against a sweeping backdrop of ancient Martian terrain at a location the science team calls \u201cLac de Charmes.\u201d Assembled from 61 individual images, the selfie shows Perseverance training its mast on a rocky outcrop in the foreground after creating a circular abrasion patch, with the western rim of Jezero Crater stretching into the background. During abrading, the rover grinds down a portion of the rock\u2019s surface, allowing the science team to analyze what\u2019s inside. The selfie was captured on March 11, the 1,797th Martian day (or sol) of the mission, during the rover\u2019s deepest push west beyond the crater.<\/p>\n
