Margin' up the Sinkhole Edge!

.Due to the fact that starting its own high drive up the hole rim, Determination has been traversing along the side of the margin system (the frame of the frame!), a puzzling device wealthy in carbonates, a nutrient team carefully linked to habitability. Here, the vagabond crew checked a pile of stone contacted "Specter Gorge," where Perseverance cleared away the dusty, weather-beaten surface area with its own reliable abrading little. The leading abraded spot, called Eremita Mesa, is pictured above being looked into through Determination's closeness science tools installed on its robotic arm. This includes taking close-up photos to analyze the millimeter-scale fragments that compose the stone, using the WATSON (Wide Angle Topographic Sensing Unit for Functions and also eNgineering) electronic camera, which functions as Perseverance's cumulative glass.
