NASA’s Perseverance rover gets incredible views of massive Martian craters from slippery slopes (video, photos)

NASA’s Perseverance rover recently took a break from its Mars climbing expedition to investigate old ruins.

The car-sized Perseverance landed at the bottom of the 28-mile-wide (45 km) Jezero Crater in February 2021 to search for signs of past Martian life and collect dozens of samples for possible future return to Earth.

Perseverance has finished its work on the plains of Jezero and is currently expanding the western rim of the crater to explore new and exotic Martian landscapes. But late last month, the rover paused to admire the magnificent Jezero landscape and share it with its handlers on Earth.

Mission team members combined 44 photos taken by Perseverance on September 27 to create a mosaic featuring many of the landmarks explored by the rover.
