Jim Bell<\/a>, Mastcam-Z\u2019s principal investigator at Arizona State University in Tempe, added: “The relatively dust-free skies provide a clear view of the surrounding terrain. And in this particular mosaic, we have enhanced the color contrast, which accentuates the differences in the terrain and sky.”<\/p>\n ![\"image\"](\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe\/WZNAAAAEElEQVR42mM8U88ABowYDABAxQPltt5zqAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\")

Sean Duffy, acting NASA administrator, said: “Our bold push for human space exploration will send astronauts back to the Moon.<\/p>\n
“Stunning vistas like that of Falbreen, captured by our Perseverance rover, are just a glimpse of what we\u2019ll soon witness with our own eyes.<\/p>\n
“NASA\u2019s groundbreaking missions, starting with Artemis, will propel our unstoppable journey to take human space exploration to the Martian surface. NASA is continuing to get bolder and stronger.”<\/p>\n
The rover\u2019s Mastcam-Z instrument captured the images on May 26, the 1,516th Martian day, or sol, of Perseverance\u2019s mission, which began in February 2021 on the floor of Jezero Crater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(NASA\/JPL-Caltech\/ASU\/MSSS via SWNS) By Dean Murray How’s this for a holiday snap?
