  "account": "A panoramic view of the geologic area known as \"Turquoise Bay\" was captured by NASA's Perseverance Mars rover using its Mastcam-Z camera. The image, an 818-photo natural-color mosaic, was compiled between October 5 and October 16, 2023, during the 933rd to 944th Martian days of the mission. An enhanced-color version of the panorama, which accentuates color differences, is also available. The Mastcam-Z instrument, leading the operations of which is Arizona State University in collaboration with Malin Space Science Systems, was built and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California.",
