    NASA's Perseverance rover sends first colour images of Mars

    Now that’s what you call a photo finish. NASA’s Mars 2020 spacecraft has sent back a striking colour image of the Perseverance rover suspended several feet above the red planet’s surface, just as it’s about to set down its six wheels in Jezero Crater. Image Credit: via REUTERS

    The picture was one of several shared Friday by officials at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, one day after Perseverance landed on Mars. Among the others showcased: a high-resolution image of the rocks and debris near one of the rover’s six wheels; a full-colour image of Jezero Crater with the rover’s shadow looming large; and a shot taken from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter of the spacecraft’s descent stage plummeting through the atmosphere, with its supersonic parachute fully deployed.

Perseverance is bristling with 23 cameras, and it put a number of them to good use documenting its journey while navigating to a safe, flat spot in Jezero Crater, whose sharp rocks, sand dunes and steep cliffs once made it an unthinkable landing spot.
