Perseverance found a place like a river of water on Mars using Mast Camera Mastcam

I thought that NASA Mission Control may command a 2nd Ingenuity flight today, but so far, that hasn't happened...but I will bring it to you when that happens... As an alternative, I bring you some footage from "Percy" that is taking some interesting close ups of what looks to be a riverbed of sorts with the backdrop of a crater rim... Lots of coloration here and at least what looks like a river basin does look different and even has the look of damp Martian soil... Until that soil is examined by using spectroscopy, we won't have any reports as to what they have found...

I have noticed some interesting videos, but some look very fake... Even the words used indicate that they may be fake descriptions used to excite non-informed people as to what is being found... Words like "Mysterious", "Alien" "Footsteps", rock formations that look like beings and more! I relate this to you, because there are those people who try to sensationalize what you are looking at.... Most times, the MastCams cameras are looking at rather mundane rocks in its surrounding area... Not very exciting...and that is why I request that you look at some of the videos that are posted with an open mind and a questioning eye... Is it real or fake... It is relatively easy to "plant" an image on a video background, so when you see some of the words I just described, make an assessment on what you see. Real results will come from legitimate NASA partners who have exhibited good science facts and not fake news... Read on if the interest is there...

BTW, this particular video appears to be upfront and a fine exploration scan of a particular area... Here is what NASA related:

The foreground of this scene from the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows purple-hued rocks near the rover's late-2016 location on lower Mount Sharp. The scene's middle distance includes higher layers that are future destinations for the mission.

Variations in color of the rocks hint at the diversity of their composition on lower Mount Sharp. The purple tone of the foreground rocks has been seen in other rocks where Curiosity's Chemical and Mineralogy (CheMin) instrument has detected hematite. Winds and windblown sand in this part of Curiosity's traverse and in this season tend to keep rocks relatively free of dust, which otherwise can cloak rocks' color.

The three frames combined into this mosaic were acquired by the Mastcam's right-eye camera on Nov. 10, 2016, during the 1,516th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars. The scene is presented with a color adjustment that approximates white balancing, to resemble how the rocks and sand would appear under daytime lighting conditions on Earth. Sunlight on Mars is tinged by the dusty atmosphere and this adjustment helps geologists recognize color patterns they are familiar with on Earth.

The view spans about 15 compass degrees, with the left edge toward southeast. The rover's planned direction of travel from its location when this scene was recorded is generally southeastward.

The orange-looking rocks just above the purplish foreground ones are in the upper portion of the Murray formation, which is the basal section of Mount Sharp, extending up to a ridge-forming layer called the Hematite Unit. Beyond that is the Clay Unit, which is relatively flat and hard to see from this viewpoint. The next rounded hills are the Sulfate Unit, Curiosity's highest planned destination. The most distant slopes in the scene are higher levels of Mount Sharp, beyond where Curiosity will drive.

Figure 1 is a version of the same scene with annotations added as reference points for distance, size and relative elevation. The annotations are triangles with text telling the distance (in kilometers) to the point in the image marked by the triangle, the point's elevation (in meters) relative to the rover's location, and the size (in meters) of an object as big as the triangle at that distance.

Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, built and operates Mastcam. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, and built the project's Curiosity rover.
