    I’d love to build a picture frame that shows the path, current location and latest photo taken by Perseverance…

      The rover has just completed a drive to a new location on sol 1362 (December 19, 2024)

      We have a few post-drive images, but not the full set it normally acquires. Here is one of the partial images (missing one tile) that shows the wheel tracks to the south and the rover looking West-Southwest. There is a projected path the rover is destined to traverse, but the mission is science led, and they often divert off the notional paths that they have published. The next drive should be West towards a science waypoint they have dubbed ‘Witch Hazel Hill’. Watch this space in the next day or so and you’ll find an updated map showing the rover’s location and its latest post-drive photos
