NASA’s Perseverance rover has brought the “family portrait” bumper sticker fad to a whole new world.
NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover got its first high-definition look around its new home in Jezero Crater on Feb. 21, after rotating its mast, or “head,” 360 degrees, allowing the rover’s Mastcam-Z instrument to capture its first panorama after touching down on the Red Planet on Feb 18.
No, it won’t be little green men – here’s what the rover is apt to see if it finds signs of life
The Perseverance Mars rover’s “sky crane” descent stage made the ultimate sacrifice last week, and we now have a photo to memorialize the flying robot’s heroic death.
Perseverance has captured a high-definition, 360-degree panorama of its surroundings on the floor of Mars’ Jezero Crater, which harbored a lake and a river delta billions of years ago.

Today, NASA released a new video showing the daring landing up close, and you should watch. Then drive Perseverance around your home and visit…
New video from NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover chronicles major milestones during the final minutes of its entry, descent, and landing (EDL) on the Red Planet on Feb. 18 as the spacecraft plummeted, parachuted, and rocketed toward the surface of Mars. A microphone on the rover also has provided the first audio recording of sounds…
