Perseverance's Latest Drill Hole at Jezero Crater in New Images

Original: We don't get to see drill holes around # Jezero crater too often these days, so here are some more images of the latest

Newly processed images from NASA's Perseverance rover show the latest drill hole made in the rocks of Jezero crater on Mars, from which the rover extracted a core sample that remains unsealed. The pictures come from the SHERLOC WATSON camera and were taken on Sol 2019 of the mission, drawing attention from space enthusiasts sharing and enhancing the raw data.

Why now: Fresh images of a Mars rover drilling operation are relatively rare and interest space followers who follow Perseverance's sample collection.
