The Perseverance rover constantly sends us amazing sights and sounds of Mars. His latest video is the most exciting ever.
NASA has released an interactive 360-degree panorama of the red planet, recorded by Perseverance Mastcam-Z stereo imaging system.
Space service states that picture 2,4 billion pixels is a blend of 992 separate images of the Van Zyl Overlook. The photos were taken between 15 and 26 April while Perseverance was waiting for the helicopter Ingenuity to complete its first flights to Mars.
The Perseverance image, however, was taken earlier and added to give a better impression of the scale and perspective on the rover side.
NASA also added a recording of the Mars winds, to give a more complete intuitive experience of the conditions prevailing on the planet.
You can explore the landscape yourself in two different ways (video and image).
Navigate the scene through the image controls by zooming in or out, or dragging the cursor around the image.
One of the highlights you can see is Ingenuity's shots of Wright Brothers Field where the helicopter flew and the Jezero Crater, which scientists believe once existed water.
