A cool image snapped by NASA's Ingenuity helicopter as it flew over Mars shows the Perseverance Rover roaming around on the surface of the Red Planet. The picture was reportedly taken during the craft's eleventh flight as it unfolded last Wednesday, August 4th. Sharing the photo online, NASA noted that the helicopter was documenting "boulders, sand dunes, and rocky outcrops prevalent in the 'South Seitah' region of Jezero Crater" and, in the process, caught a glimpse of the rover that delivered it to the Red Planet. "Ingenuity’s aerial images are awesome," marveled JPL engineer Robert Hogg, "but even better when you get to play 'Where's Perseverance?' with them."
For those who have been scouring the photo wondering where, exactly, the rover is, NASA helpfully explained where it can be found. "Just beyond South Seitah's dune field near the top of the image and just to the right of center is a bright white speck," the space agency indicated, "that's what a Mars rover looks like from about 1,600 feet away and 39 feet up." For those still stumped, the image below should help solve the mystery. While it may appear as just a dot in the picture, NASA also provided an enhanced version of the image (which can also be seen below) that zooms in on Perseverance and reveals some of the rover's details such as its wheels and remote sensing mast.
