(Feb. 25) Watch live as NASA reveals the first 360-degree panoramic view taken by the Perseverance rover on Mars.

It's the first high-definition image was taken by Mastcam-Z from Jezero Crater after rotating the rover's mast, or "head," 360 degrees.

The Perseverance rover landed on Feb. 18 near an ancient river delta in Jezero Crater to search for signs of ancient microscopic life.

It will spend the next two years exploring the dry river delta and drilling into rocks that may hold evidence of life 3 billion to 4 billion years ago.

The core samples will be set aside for return to Earth in a decade.

NASA added 25 cameras to the $3 billion mission — the most ever sent to Mars.

The space agency's previous rover, 2012′s Curiosity, managed only jerky, grainy stop-motion images, mostly of terrain.

Curiosity is still working. So is NASA's InSight lander, although it's hampered by dusty solar panels.

They may have company in late spring, when China attempts to land its own rover, which went into orbit around Mars two weeks ago.

I enjoy how many flat earthers and conspiracy theorists are in the comments and they all just ghost me when I start arguing.

Now I hope they don’t take these away. So everyone can go check out what I’m seeing and saying. Another brother on a page that knows the stuff is malarkey showed me. And it’s so obvious
