Nasa has released video of its Perseverance rover making its descent and landing on Mars. A microphone on the rover has also captured the first audio from the Red Planet. The video shows the whole descent from the moment the parachute inflated to its landing in the Jezero Crater. The world got its first close-up look at a Mars landing last week, as Nasa released a stunning picture of its newest rover being lowered onto the dusty red surface. This Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021 photo provided by NASA shows the Perseverance rover lowered towards the surface of Mars during its powered descent.
