Jezero once had rivers and a lake.

#Perseverance has already emailed in her vote, choosing decency, science, facts and progress. But being workaholic (what else to do on Mars?) she got down to business right before noon:

EDIT: The images are aimed at the direction of #Ingenuity, i.e. 319°, albeit a little to the south of it.
