I see these images almost every day. What are they? Is that the sun and are they recording or sampling atmospheric conditions? In the past they were preceded by four images of star fields (if you download and zoom in.) What are those? (Image in comments). Are they related? Credit: NASA/JPL

I've never seen a mosaic line up this well in the raw images.

Are those some type of calibration targets on the side of coring drill?

What is the purpose of SkyCam?

I'm just so aggravated right now with the loss of even more web resources. Now it's the DSN . I get 404 now and lost the Mars world map with all the current missions and their relationships. I can still see the antennas but now mars actual at 2020 or Curiosity is gone. I've looked for hours for it. Last year we lost the three dimensional rover you could drill down on to get extended information about science and engineering payloads. We lost the scrolling banner at the top of many Mars page's that gave current blog, or mission articles, news, etc. now we have to dig to get it, except for here. With out this community (Paul and Special) we would be completely lost. I truly hope we don't loose the location map or raw image server.

This raw image shows SHERLOC's cover (bottom center) stuck partially open, or partially closed, whichever (hopefully closed). This image was from sol 1041. I see more raw images tonight that still show SHERLOC taking vague and foggy images, the same as the ones posted before and after this raw image. I'm assuming this is still an issue. What's the level of concern? What options do they have?
