The Kleiner Schoberstein is a 985 m high mountain in the H"ollengebirge (literally: Hell Mountains) in Upper Austria, peaking over Lake Attersee. Note how the clouds are reflected in the lake, which appears as smooth as glass.

The snow-covered forest stands frozen in crystalline stillness. Every branch, every curve of the land is wrapped in white, as if time itself has halted, leaving only the perfection of an untouched canvas. No tracks—neither animal nor human. Only endless purity, where even the light filtering through the branches seems like a timid guest. "Do you see the photographer here?" you might ask, scanning the panorama. No. No shadow, no tripod marks, no trace of presence. Yet he is here. His magic lies in his ability to dissolve, to become one with the silence he has captured. A panoramic shot is the alchemy of disappearance. Dozens of images, seamlessly stitched together, erase the observer’s presence. The photographer is a ghost, dancing between frames, hiding within the seams of the stitched reality. He does not trample the snow, nor does he disturb the harmony—his footprints remain outside the frame, in the invisible movements of the panoramic head atop the tripod. But is he truly absent? Look closer: his breath lingers in the shimmer of the last rays clinging to the pine needles, his gaze weaves through the branches fading into the dusky mist. He is present in every detail, like a silent creator who, having shaped a world, vanished into its depths.   This panorama is not just a forest. It is a mystery, a mirror reflecting the one behind the lens. And if you do not see the artist—then he has done his job flawlessly. For true art hides not in what is revealed, but in the unseen whisper: “I was here. I saw. I preserved the secret of the untouched.”

NASA's Mars Exploration Program (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech)  Sol 1438: Sealing the Deal The panorama is made up of 102 individual Mastcam-Z images stitched together. The images were taken on Sols 1438 (March 7, 2025).   This week, the Perseverance team faced a stubborn engineering challenge. After successfully collecting a core called “Green Gardens” from the “Tablelands” location, the rover struggled to seal the sample tube, despite multiple attempts. This isn't entirely unprecedented — for a previous sample called “Mageik,” it took 40 days before being successfully sealed. The Green Gardens core is particularly exciting for our science team because it contains serpentine minerals, which may have formed billions of years ago when water interacted with rocks before the Jezero crater impact. On Earth, serpentine-rich environments can support microbial communities, making this sample particularly important to understanding ancient Mars’ potential for life.   The science team was torn with competing priorities: sealing up Green Gardens as quickly as possible vs. continuing to our next important science stop, “Broom Point.” Several options were considered: (1) stay put and focus on sealing, (2) start driving and keep trying to seal Green Gardens on the road, or (3) dump the Green Gardens sample from the tube and try extracting another core at Tablelands (this was the most drastic option). The science team went with (2), a dual-track strategy that would allow us to keep mission momentum while giving our engineers time to develop new approaches to the sealing challenge. The risk was that option (2) would keep the Green Gardens sample open for potentially a long time — depending on how obstinate the sample sealing would be — leaving the rock core exposed to the harsh conditions of Mars’ surface.  It was a trade that mission scientists were willing to make, and Perseverance has been making impressive progress down the west side of Jezero crater’s rim. With a downhill tilt there of 16 degrees, rover imagery is providing sweeping views of the landscape ahead toward Broom Point, where the rover will be tasked with studying the bright bedrock bands in the week to come.   And our optimistic approach paid off, because — voila! — our latest attempt to seal Green Gardens worked! The image above shows the seal successfully topping the sample tube. The next time the science team sees Green Gardens will be in a laboratory here on Earth, when we will finally learn what story the serpentine minerals have to tell. Until then, this sample’s lips are sealed, so to speak.    Written by Melissa Rice, Professor of Planetary Science at Western Washington University  A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith (broken rock and dust). Subsequent NASA missions, in cooperation with ESA (European Space Agency), would send spacecraft to Mars to collect these sealed samples from the surface and return them to Earth for in-depth analysis. The Mars 2020 Perseverance mission is part of NASA’s Moon to Mars exploration approach, which includes Artemis missions to the Moon that will help prepare for human exploration of the Red Planet. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed for the agency by Caltech in Pasadena, California, built and manages operations of the Perseverance rover.
