Meanwhile on the planet Mars:

Curiosity Rover drills its 43rd sample hole during June 8, 2025 (mission sol 4564)

Attached is an animated GIF of 20 HazCam subframe images captured during the drilling process.

I've added the timestamps (local mars solar time) on each frame.

Watch the shadow of the robotic arm move and the drill bit sink into the rock. Look closely and you can even see the rover tilt as the load on the drill changes.

Edit - HazCam
