[NASA] NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover took this selfie on March 11, 2026, the 1,797th Martian day, or sol, of the mission, during the rover’s deepest push west beyond Jezero Crater.

Assembled from 61 individual images, the selfie shows Perseverance training its mast on the “Arathusa” rocky outcrop after creating a whitish circular abrasion patch.

The crater’s western rim of Jezero Crater is visible in the background.
