2022年8月4日，毅力号火星车的桅杆摄像头- z拍摄了这幅马赛克图像。这个汽车大小的机器人正在继续探索一条河流的扇形三角洲，数十亿年前，这条河流流入火星上的耶泽罗陨石坑。保存在耶泽罗三角洲的沉积岩被认为是火星上寻找古代微生物生命潜在迹象的最佳地点之一，最近由火星车采样的地点，被称为野猫岭和斯金纳岭，在画面的左下方和右上方。从这些地区采集的样本被密封在超干净的样管中，最终打算在未来的任务中返回地球。从1997年的探路者任务和火星全球勘测者开始，在过去的25年里，机器人对这颗红色星球的持续探索包括轨道飞行器、着陆器、漫游者和一架来自地球的直升机。

The Perseverance rover's Mastcam-Z captured images to create this mosaic on August 4, 2022. The car-sized robot was continuing its exploration of the fan-shaped delta of a river that, billions of years ago, flowed into Jezero Crater on Mars. Sedimentary rocks preserved in Jezero's delta are considered one of the best places on Mars to search for potential signs of ancient microbial life and sites recently sampled by the rover, dubbed Wildcat Ridge and Skinner Ridge, are at lower left and upper right in the frame. The samples taken from these areas were sealed inside ultra-clean sample tubes, ultimately intended for return to Earth by future missions. Starting with the Pathfinder Mission and Mars Global Surveyor in 1997, the last 25 years of a continuous robotic exploration of the Red Planet has included orbiters, landers, rovers, and a helicopter from planet Earth.
