Amazing images as Nasa's Perseverance rover lands on Mars and seeks signs of past microbial life.

Nasa/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSSThis is the first 360-degree panorama taken by Mastcam-Z, the rover's zoomable pair of cameras. The picture was stitched together on Earth from 142 individual images.This wind-carved rock seen in the panorama shows just how much detail is captured by the camera systems. The rock has been informally named the "harbour seal", for obvious reasons.A detail taken from the top of the panorama shows the rim of Jezero Crater, Perseverance's landing site.

The layered sediments of the delta are one of the key science targets for the rover in its search for signs of ancient life.The earliest pictures sent back were made during the rover's descent. Here, Perseverance is being lowered on three nylon ropes and an "umbilical cord". When the rover's wheels touched the ground, the tethers were severed.This image was also made during the descent.

This is awesome!!!

So... we traveled millions of miles to see pictures of Nevada. Hmm?

I appreciate the feat of landing on Mars, but these images aren't stunning. Same as the last lot, and if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. SamuelEddy_

I can't get enough of these!

Stunning being perhaps an overstatement?

It's a shame the rover doesn't play Jeff Wayne or read (out loud) H.G.Wells, that would be ironic.

And will never show the truth.

I like that I can retweet BBC's March 3 News on March 2. Life would be so boring if the 🌍 was a 🥞. I also want to see all the supposed 'alien' sightings that comes out of the latest batch of Mars Media.

Stunning 🤩

I'm eagerly waiting for the Nasa's Perseverance Rover to send pictures and images of the Aliens in Mars, that's, the Martians!!

Amazing.

Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.
