NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has captured a new 360-degree panorama that reveals the diverse terrain of Mount Sharp, a crucial part of the planet that plays an integral role in helping scientists study the region and learn more about its history.
The Mars Perseverance Rover has been sharing thousands of images since it landed on the surface of the Red Planet on February 18. This past week, the rover sent back a few landscape photos of its position taken by its MastCam-Z, juxtaposed with an aerial view from orbit.
The Mars Perseverance Rover, which already has sent back some incredible images from the Red Planet, is equipped with 23 cameras designed for a host of tasks. Its main camera array is particularly impressive, able to see details as small as a tip of a pencil close by, and the size of an almond from a football field away in 3D.
Last week, NASA's Mars Rover Perseverence landed safely on the Red Planet. After sending back a few initial images, NASA has followed up with a stunning 360-degree interactive photo that lets you get a full view of the area around the rover.
NASA's Perseverance has been on the surface of the Red Planet for about a day now and is already sending back images that are far superior to the original two published yesterday, including one photo of the drone midair captured from its "jetpack."
Yesterday, NASA's latest Mars Rover Perseverance safely touched down on the Red Planet and sent back its first images of the surface. The view is from one of the rover's hazard avoidance cameras and is partially obscured by a dust cover.
