Perseverance's SHERLOC camera images show rock abrasion on Mars

Original: Three images animate their story Seeing, selecting, abrading Processed SHERLOC_WATSON looking down (-80°) from RMC 92.00

New images from NASA's Perseverance rover are drawing attention. They were taken by the SHERLOC WATSON camera, looking down at an angle of minus 80 degrees on sol 2011 of the mission, and show a rock target after it was seen, selected and abraded. Space enthusiasts are sharing processed versions of the raw images, animating the sequence to illustrate how the rover investigates Martian geology.

Why now: Space enthusiasts are following Perseverance's ongoing geological work on Mars and sharing newly released raw imagery.
