Der Marsrover der NASA sendet ein Selfie aus dem Wilden Westen des Planeten zurück

[Geekspin reports ](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/nasa-mars-rover-sends-back-171544513.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall&ncid=redditnewsus)- NASA’s Perseverance rover captured a new animated selfie on Mars in the ‘Wild West,’ the farthest west it has traveled since landing on the planet in 2021.

This is the rover’s sixth selfie on Mars, and in it you can see the explorer sitting beside a rocky outcrop called the “Arathusa,” with the rugged rim of the Jezero Crater seen stretching across the background.

The selfie itself was the result of NASA stitching together 61 separate images captured by the camera (mounted at the end of the explorer’s robotic arm) over the course of roughly an hour. It was taken during the rover’s latest (and fifth) science campaign near the western edge of Jezero Crater, an area NASA scientists describe as some of the oldest and most geologically interesting terrain the Mars 2020 mission has explored so far.
