NASA's chosen "Image of the Week" showcases not only the desert sands of Mars but also a stringy object lying amongst them, likely a piece of a previous mission's parachute or possibly even Perseverence's own.

The image was taken via the rover's "Front Left Hazard Avoidance Camera A" on July 12, 2022 in the Jezero crater where Perseverance recently took samples from.

Perseverence's location can be tracked on NASA's webpage.
