Update: I've started my climb up the Jezero Crater rim!

My team has a few spots for me to explore along the way – but they're most excited about an area over the crest and outside the crater called Witch Hazel Hill, which includes the most ancient Martian crust on my journey.

Louise Glück: “The periods of blankness and silence are desolating. But tell yourself the well is filling up (it is). At the end of silence something will have shifted, your work changed. I believe this passionately. I think everything good in my own work I owe to endurance.”
