Two SHERLOC WATSON images of the latest abrasion patch on Mars. This patch is at site 72.0 and imaged during sol 1473 (April 12, 2025). For scale the patch has a diameter of 5cm (~2 inches). The camera is located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm, so can be placed close to the targets. Image Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech
