The image shows the location of Bright Angel, a light colored rock formation at the base of the ancient Neretva Vallis riverbank, where #Ingenuity's team said they planned to meet with #Perseverance, had its grounding not occurred. It is very possible that the rover will visit that area in the near future.

#Perseverance moved another ~40m to SW to RMC 51.2390, inching closer to the area where it will again have visibility to #Ingenuity (green on the map). The path shown is a guess.
EDIT: Updated map. New images coming in show that the rover moved further south to avoid some difficult to drive through terrain.
This map shows where along the edge of the ancient riverbank to expect #Ingenuity to be visible again by #Perseverance's masthead cameras, NAVCAM, MCZ and SUPERCAM. Dark areas have no visibility to the #MarsHelicopter.
The latest official traverse shows the rover making a number of zigzags on seemingly leveled ground, which might suggest that the recent path has been through loose regolith. If that's the case, then my prediction above may not be a good/easy way to the west along the edge of the plateau.
When looking east from Neretva Vallis, the lower slopes of Jezero Mons were previously visible in the distance; but not any more. The haze now seems impenetrable. Colors, too, have changed.

A reworked hypothesis about #Ingenuity's last #Flight72 explained with an animation. It is based on a number of assumptions, most of which come out of #NASA's statements.

• The elevation difference between the location of the helicopter and the broken off blade appears to be less than 0.5m, from the #USGS 1m DTM.
• It takes 0.37s for a body to drop 0.5m under the 3.72m/s² of Martian gravity. The initial velocity for a projectile to travel 13m in 0.37s would be ~35.5 m/s, without taking into consideration friction in the thin Martian air. If friction is to be considered for
New ~20m drive and new location for #Perseverance on Sol 1066, at RMC 50.1534. #Ingenuity is still in sight (light colored areas have visibility to the #MarsHelicopter).

Finally on Sol 1063 #Perseverance did the right thing and backed off 23m to an area where it (most probably) has line-of-site to #Ingenuity, so more images of the #MarsHelicopter can be captured, especially images with its SUPERCAM telescope.
The previous location where Perseverance captured images of the Ingenuity is shown with a green rover.
Sol 1049 noon finds #Perseverance 50 m WNW from its previous location, now at RMC 50.0524, still about 70m away from a large area with line-of-site to #Ingenuity's retirement place. There may be more driving during this sol though.
The United States Geological Survey usually detects anywhere between 20 to 50 earthquakes, 2.5 or higher in magnitude, globally, on a daily basis.
In the last 24 hours, there have been no less than 145 earthquakes of this caliber.
#Perseverance is training its telescope, SUPERCAM, on distant rocks, probably rehearsing the long picture shots it may try to capture of #Ingenuity, in the coming sols.

Another sol, another drive for #Perseverance. The rover is approaching the northern edge of the rocky Margin Unit, getting closer to where #Ingenuity is located after its eventful #Flight72, but it still has no line-of-sight to the #MarsHelicopter. It may be in a better position for a first look in a sol or two, as seen in the visibility plot below.
The new location doesn't seem to be much different wrt UHF communications with #Ingenuity, maybe a tad less bad, but definitely not good, AFAICT by this simplistic radiocoverage approximation. So I wouldn't expect #MarsHelicopter images to flood the dowlink, unless #Perseverance drives further into that beam of, um, radio clearness extending to the west and south of its current location.
Nearly 75% of U.S. could experience damaging #earthquake shaking, recent U.S. Geological Survey-led team of 50+ scientists and engineers. This was one of several key findings from the latest #USGS National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM). The model was used to create a color-coded map that pinpoints where damaging earthquakes are most likely to occur based on insights from #seismic studies, historical geologic data, and the latest data-collection technologies. https://www.usgs.gov/news/national-news-release/new-usgs-map-shows-where-damaging-earthquakes-are-most-likely-occur-us
Images from #Ingenuity's #Flight70 have started pouring in. This one shows the area where the #MarsHelicopter did an emergency landing during #Flight71, and a posible location for that, guessed from the laconic announcement of JPL on X.

The map shows the approximate location of the #MarsHelicopter when the image above was captured. It appears that #Flight70 wasn't as straight as shown in the (prelimilary?) official localization (solid orange), but veered to the right and went a little farther, as usual,to find a suitable place to land.
