Walkabout: A long drive on sol 1397 (January 23, 2025) takes Perseverance back to a location overlooking site 64.2278.

It reached that site back on sol 1363 (December 20, 2024), spend the rest of 2025 there and even performed an abrasion there.

Attached is one of the post-drive 4-tile (roughly processed) NavCams from site 65.0802. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Agreed fully, definitely clearing skies. Such a pity we did not have those when the rover was sat on top of the rim still looking inside the crater. Maybe we'll have better luck with clear skies in a few years when it heads back inside :)
