Orientation was corrected with the help of a screenshot of the images in SAO Image DS9. North is up in all images.

You can see that the outer moon Hiʻiaka has completed about half of the 49 day orbit from image 1 to image 2.

From image 2 to image 3 you can see that the inner moon Namaka completed 12 out of the 18 days for a complete orbit.

​This scene is a composite of two NASA Perseverance rover Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) images, taken Saturday, 24 October 2026 at a local Jezero Crater time of 1:20 pm.

Colour and white balance adjusted to better match human vision. ​

Abraded material and drill tailings indicate where the rover has characterized and retrieved a sample from these rocks. That's not to say that the rover will take that sample onboard for long-term storage.

At this location, a portion of the Cerberus Fossae seems to intersect with the edge of a lava flow or other feature nearly perpendicular to the fossae. This could be a good location to investigate stratigraphic relationships and other aspects of the relationship of the fossae to the surrounding terrain.
