NASA shares photos from Perseverance's descent to Mars

The image you see above was taken just moments before NASA's Perseverance rover successfully landed on the surface of Mars, and it's just the first of many high-resolution photos to come. NASA pulled the image from a video of the rover's descent that is in the process of being transmitted to Earth. "This shot from a camera on my'jetpack' captures me in midair, just before my wheels touched down," the rover's official Twitter account said. NASA's Curiosity rover and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter caught Perseverance's trip to the surface as well. Every picture tells a story.
