A new image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spies the Perseverance Rover in Jezero Crater. Not far away, the Ingenuity Helicopter rests on the surface.
It seems like only months ago that the Perseverance Rover landed in Jezero Crater on Mars. But in fact, it’s been there longer than a year. Perseverance has had company during this time; its sidekick, the Ingenuity helicopter, completed 23 flights in Mars’ thin atmosphere so far.
Operating the HiRISE on NASA’s MRO might be one of the funnest jobs around. Not only do you get to study Mars in detail, highlighting interesting geological forms and watching giant dust storms. But you get to check in on the landers and orbiters busy working away on the surface. The larger yellow square shows Perseverance’s location and the smaller yellow square is where Ingenuity is sitting. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona.

Lasers Recreate the Conditions Inside Galaxy Clusters - Universe TodayGalaxies don’t exist in a vacuum. Ok, maybe they do (mostly, since even interstellar space has some matter in it). But galaxies aren’t normally solitary objects. Multiple galaxies interacting gravitationally can form clusters. These clusters can interact with each other, forming superclusters. Our own galaxy is part of a group of galaxies called the Local … Continue reading 'Lasers Recreate the Conditions Inside Galaxy Clusters'
