NASA’S Perseverance Rover’s First 360 View of Mars (Official)

This video shows the first 360-degree view of the landing site of NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars, as captured by the rover’s color Navigation Cameras, or Navcams. The Navcams are on the remote sensing mast (or “head”) of the rover. Perseverance possesses the most cameras of any Mars rover to date, with 19 on the rover. Perseverance landed on Mars’ Jezero Crater on February 18, 2021. These images were obtained on February 20, 2021.

A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith.

The fact that WE are the aliens is blowing my mind!!

[Super-]

Our great grandparents and ancestors could only imagine what it looked like on other planets. It truly is such a privilege to be alive in such a time where we now have such technology to witness such an event that others before us only dreamed of and thought was impossible.

From getting resources with stone tools to literally sending a robot to Mars. Incredible ...

[Melt]

Crazy to think that there’s over 3 million people from earth looking through this robot on mars

[creepy_videos]

Incredible, beautiful and scary at the same time ..! (words cannot convey) Show the Martian tornadoes. 🌪🌪🌩😍💙🌑

[TheOnlyIncognito]

Although we won’t be alive to see life on mars it’s nice to be alive to see the beginning of it 😍

[davecunningham]

Never been happier that my office chair spins.

[Shalalacls]

I needed a minute to comprehend the fact that I'm lying in my bed, looking at MARS from my phone. Like it's a place I'd like to go for a walk sometime. MARS. Science is wonderful

[asktoseducemiss]

It's incredible that we can watch the view from diffrent planet just by lying on a couch

[Hello-wtrf]

Imagine Matt Daemon waving his hand lol

[javontapearson]

Crazy I can witness this greatness from the comfort of my bedroom.

[bud]

Never thought in my life time, l would see, Mars this close.

[abhinavpatil]

This pic is amazing, I hope they release more with different positions of the sun and even one at night just to see how stars look from the surface of mars. Super excited for updates

[mydviews]

Can imagine landing on Mars, then ten minutes later saying. "Okay, time to go home". LOL

[adam.md]

We are all sitting at home and can literally see the Mars like we want

[Zach-ygtv]

I've never been so excited to look at some dirt and rocks. No, really, I'm ecstatic.

[blader]

Imagine if we discover Mars was actually the Earth, abandoned by human kind because we destroyed the Planet and had to move to another world. Does it sound familiar?

[kelsan]

I can't just really imagine how these planets are just floating in in the universe...well I know it's bcoz of the gravity, but you know it's really mysterious

[SRC]

Never seen this experience on YouTube!

[shankarprasad]

Never thought in my life that ill be this excited to see rocks on a plain ground :D
