The perseverance is still in the Jezero crater, where it arrived on Thursday, around 10 pm Hungarian time. With the landing, the United States Space Agency carried out another historic mission. Speaking of landing: a photo was also taken of the rover wheels slowly touching the planet’s surface, it is also colorful, good quality:

Perseverance will spend a year (687 Earth days) on the red planet, where he does important scientific work: collecting samples and looking for traces of Martian life.
