4-tile NavCam from the top of the crater rim wall. To the left is the unexplored region outside the crater. To the right of this image is the slope down to the floor of Jezero crater. I'll add the view to the unexplored area in the comments of this post.

At this time we don't have the official drive distance etc, but I will add that in the comments when it becomes available

So nice to see that the color and perspective calibration targets are very visible... We see more or less what we would see if we were there. Amazing.
