Hi res on X

 Time: Sol 2692 3 March 2020 (2020-03-03 02:32:29 UTC )

Location: Mars Longitude: 137.38077432° Latitude: -4.73673265°

Shout out to Azuul for finding this! A bunch of people tried posting it but all their posts got deleted. He also said “Also it seems like NASA has removed the MASTCAM/MAHLI from Sol 2692. It’s not showing up on the site. But the screenshots and composite I found was made previous to this so it still has color. But all the pictures on NASA are in black and white.”

I will post links in my comment post so this doesnt get deleted again.

Thanks to MTMitchell for saving the Panorama and doing the zoom pics.

Below is a panorama with subsequent zooms and the raw black and white photo that is still up on NASA’s site.

I looked up SOL 2692, its about at this location:

Longitude: 137.38077432°
Latitude: -4.73673265°

Camera specs will be in my comment post.

*Note, many people will comment on the shadow, as it appears to look a little deceiving. MrTotonka made this photo about the stitches in the panorama to explain it. thank you!

*Note scale is tough to discern here. If someone can represent it well I’ll add the picture here.

*My original post got deleted by a bot. This one doesnt have a typo in the title at least*
