NASA’s Perseverance used its navigation cameras to capture its drive along the rim of Jezero Crater on Dec. 10, 2025. The navcam images were combined with rover data and placed into a 3D virtual environment, resulting in this reconstruction with virtual frames inserted about every 4 inches (0.1 meters) of drive progress. NASA/JPL-Caltech The team [...]
