Ah! After a hiatus of five sols we are getting new images from Curiosity. Here is a stitching of two images captured 14 hours ago by the ChemCam Remote Micro Imager (RMI) telescope.

How it started, how it's going: the ultraviolet sensor onboard Curiosity's rover. It could really do with a little dusting!

CNN — After a steep monthslong trek, the Perseverance rover has reached the top of Jezero Crater on Mars. The site is a region unlike anything Perseverance has encountered during its 3 ½-year journey on the red planet.

Wow a radical change in Perseverance's viewpoint wrt to the Pico Turquino hills has occured. The robot changed direction by 90° to offer us some new vistas of these hills with the crater floor now in the background!
