Does it exist a site which graphically shows the viewing direction of Perseverance pictures on a map? Cameras orientation data are available for each image in the PDS label, I am looking for a site which decodes such label and shows graphically the results.

cool but no, just a map of the traverse, with lines showing viewing directions of various images, see attachment.

Analyst's Notebook has an overview map, but does not show viewing directions, so it's very hard to find all pictures looking at the  same distant subject.

Is it supposed to be a map in marslife view? I can see only a white area.

No - I don't know of anything like that.

what about the white space in bottom part of marslife page? Is something wrong on my PC, or in the page? Should I see something there?

I also see that the traverse path is wrong in my browser, all panoramas appear placed in same sol/position 807, whichever I select.

The journal Nature has on article on what science will be lost without sample return from Perseverance

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00060-7

I don't believe this is behind a paywall.

I can see it without paywall.

Anyway, for most paywalls that cover content initially visible as the page loads:

- Right-click on the page.
- Select "Inspect".
- Control bar and terminal appears on the right-hand side of the browser window.
- Look for the "Settings" section (can be a gear wheel or a dedicated tab depending on your browser).
- Scroll down those settings and find an option towards the end that allows "Disable JavaScript".
- Select that box, click on the website to select it again, and reload.

What’s the equivalent of that if using a mobile browser like safari on the iPhone?
