Over 1,500 sols spent on Mars – and the dust still keeps me company🙂 Can you spot the dust devil? These columns of air and dust are common on the Red Planet. Scientists can learn more about Martian weather patterns and dust on the planet by studying these whirling wonders.

Wishing upon a... moon? That bright "star" is actually Mars' moon Deimos. In the hours before dawn, I snapped this long-exposure image with my left Navcam and caught Deimos as well as two stars from the constellation Leo in the sky. It's definitely a mood, as they say.

Time to take a bite out of "Krokodillen!" I'm exploring a new area that has been on my science team's wish list for a while. The rocks here formed before Jezero Crater was created and could include some of the oldest rocks on Mars. go.nasa.gov/4kwyuHb

How do I search for signs of past life on Mars? My instrument SHERLOC helps me spot chemical clues in the rocks, while WATSON zooms in on tiny details. It’s all part of decoding Mars’ ancient secrets from right here on the surface.

Listen to the muted sounds of Mars, courtesy of me. I carry two microphones that capture the hums of my instruments and the wind. The Martian atmosphere is about 1% as dense as Earth’s, which affects the volume, speed, and quality of those sounds. soundcloud.com/nasa/sets/soun…

If there's a gap in my tracks, you know what may have done it 🌪️ I snapped this image with my rear-facing Navcam after completing a recent drive. I'm still exploring Jezero Crater's rim, which I climbed out of several months ago on my quest to find signs of past microbial life.

Some of you asked if I’m taller than Curiosity Rover. I’m not! We’re both about 7 ft tall, 9 ft wide, and 10 ft long – but I do weigh 278 lbs more. Curiosity is 1,982 lbs (899 kg), and I’m 2,260 lbs (1,025 kg).

3 years ago, I watched Ingenuity take to the Martian skies for its 7th flight 🚁 The #MarsHelicopter continued to exceed expectations, completing an incredible 72 flights during its mission and laying the groundwork for future deep space aerial explorers. (Miss you, bud!)

Important Update: As part of NASA’s effort to streamline communications, this account will be archived in the coming weeks – but don't worry, my mission isn't going anywhere. For continued access to the latest Perseverance news, images, and science, please follow NASA Mars.

Thank you ♥️ All of your supportive words are more meaningful to me than ones and zeroes could ever be. My work on Mars continues, and while this account will soon be archived, I’m going to share a few mission highlights before signing off.

If you ever doubt your place in the universe, remember this: 11 million of your names are on Mars with me. They’re permanently etched into a microchip on my deck. It’s a quiet reminder that exploration is a team effort.
