Percy is down!!! Congratulations to the team!!!!
We'll talk about it here. What a great day!!! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

At first glance the landing site looks a bit less rocky to me than most of the earlier landing sites did.
Congratulations to the Perseverance team! |

On the JPL feed there is a map that has been in view a few times. If the green dot is the estimated landing site it looks pretty dead center of the landing ellipse.

Except for the Viking and Pathfinder sites. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Looks like it landed amidst a small cluster of rocks in a field of sand (hopefully not spirit killer quicksand).

Fantastic, and not as rocky as the Viking or Pathfinder sites. A few blocks with angualr edges upright, and maybe some low sand drifts further back. The excitment of landing on another planet never pales...
