A grayscale panoramic image of the Martian surface shows booth sky and ground well-lit. The rolling terrain is marked by uneven slabs of rock covered in some areas by soil and small rocks. In the background, a wide, gently sloping, layered rock hill rises above the ground at center. Farther away, to the right, is another hill with a more pointed top, and at third rises up to the right edge of the frame. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible in the frame of this extreme wide-angle image, taking up most of the lower-left corner. Several instruments and pieces of equipment are visible atop the rover, as are logos for NASA and JPL, with very dark, fine dust covering some areas.

A grayscale panoramic image of the Martian surface shows darkening skies and ground, where the rolling terrain is marked by uneven slabs of rock covered in some areas by soil and small rocks. In the background, a gently sloped, layered rock hill rises above the ground at top right. To the left is a larger hill rising from the ground. The hill on the right is hiding the Sun, which is illuminating the only bright area in the picture, the sky above and to the sides of the hill. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible at the left, right, and bottom edges of the extreme wide-angle image.

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover took this selfie, made up of 62 individual images, on July 23. A rock nicknamed “Cheyava Falls,” which has features that may bear on the question of whether the Red Planet was long ago home to microscopic life, is to the left of the rover near the center of the image.
