Curiosity has climbed 999.15m up Mount Sharp, the next drive should reach over one kilometer
Here's its new workspace after the drive. This is a mosaic of 15 overlapping mast camera images that were deBayered prior to assembly.
Mars Guy - 2 worlds, 2 eclipses, 2 days
On August 12, the Moon passed in front of the Sun, producing a total eclipse along a narrow path in the northern hemisphere of Earth. On Mars, in a cosmic coincidence a day later, Perseverance watched a tiny potato-shaped moon pass in front of the same Sun.

4986 Sols on Mars - Penny for your thoughts :)
This image was taken by the MAHLI camera onboard NASA's Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4986 (16 August 2026)

August 13, 2026 - Sol 1948: Left Mastcam-Z Camera
Closer look at a light toned rock in the rovers workspace
Perseverance used its SHERLOC WATSON camera on sol 1949 to take a close-up image of this light toned rock. The camera is mounted on the rover's robotic arm. Check the comments for a much closer image at the rock from the same camera acquired on the same sol
Ventifacts anyone? Sol 1927 - MastCam-Z (full zoom)
A ventifact is a wind carved rock
Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its Right Mastcam-Z camera set at full zoom (110mm).
Mastcam-Z is a pair of cameras located high on the rover's mast.
This image was acquired on July 22, 2026 (Sol 1927)
14 years on Mars takes its toll. Sol 4963 wheel-check (July 23, 2026)
'Tis But A Scratch!
Still plenty of miles on these wheels
Drive on sol 1927 - This is a composite post-drive NavCam. EDIT new images etc added in the comments
I'll add the drive data when JPL release the official info, but it looks like a drive of 5-6 meters East-northeast. These post-drive images were acquired on July 22, 2026.
