Take a Virtual Tour of Mars' Jezero Crater with Stunning Video Footage

NASA's Perseverance rover is exploring Jezero Crater on Mars, a depression that was once an ancient crater lake with inflows and outflows. The aim is to gather Martian rock samples for later return to Earth and to seek out signs of ancient life on a remote desert planet. Using data from the ESA's Mars Express orbiter and NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists have stitched together an incredible view of Perseverance's home turf, which is presented in a three-minute video. The imagery and topography of Mars are all accurate and constructed from actual images of the planet.
