Explanation: In this recent HiRISE view from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the little green dot indicated on the surface of the big Red Planet is the Perseverance Mars rover. Recorded on June 13, the car-sized, six-wheeled robot was imaged a day before completing a Martian marathon, traveling a total distance of 26.218 miles (42.195 kilometers) since it began exploring the surface of Mars. That equivalent marathon distance was achieved by Perseverance on its mission sol (Martian day) 1,890, after about 5 Earth years and 4 Earth months of driving. Perseverance is continuing to hunt for biosignatures. In the HiRISE image, the Mars rover's tracks can be seen leading to its location in an area west of its landing site in Jezero crater near an ancient river delta.

Wow.
Cool.

You will need to use the zoom process described in post #1 to see the faint tracks from the Mars Rover.
What is all that black stuff?
Burned vegetation from a wildfire that swept through due to global warming.
That little guy has been busy.
Great work by the designers.
Neat-o.
Don't know. It could be shadows. It could be coloration of rock. I wonder how many images from Mars are in altered coloration to look more like we would expect. If it was too dark then we could not see much.
Looks like burned stuff - tnx for the reply
:D
“That equivalent marathon distance was achieved by Perseverance on its mission sol (Martian day) 1,890, after about 5 Earth years and 4 Earth months of driving...”
It would prolly take me that long to run a marathon.
