ALT A desert landscape on Mars, seen from beneath the rover, with its robotic "hand" visible along with and a wheel with tracks in the dirt.
ALT A field of light-toned rocks in reddish soil.

ALT A self-portrait photo of the Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars, taken with a camera on its robotic arm. The six-wheel rover sits in a rocky desert landscape. Its robotic "head" is pointed down to one rock where there is a small hole drilled, along with a small pile of light-colored tailings from the drill.
ALT A close-up photo of layered rocks. Between two layers, in reddish mudstone, are small, dark spots, slightly lighter at the middle of each spot.
ALT Close-up image of a rock surface on Mars captured by NASA’s Perseverance rover. The rock shows a mix of reddish-brown terrain and lighter-toned material running diagonally through the frame. Numerous small, rounded mineral grains are embedded in the surface. Two features are labeled in red: “Olivine,” pointing to a greenish, oval-shaped crystal on the right side, and “Leopard Spot,” pointing to a darker, circular patch within the flat, dusty rock. The textures highlight the mineral diversity present in the sampled area.
ALT A hazy night sky image shows the Martian surface with hills off in the distance. Up in the sky is a bright white orb with two much smaller ones to the left of it. The orb is a hazy blue color and is the Martian moon Deimos. The two orbs next to Deimos are Algieba and Regulus, two stars that are part of the constellation Leo.
ALT Illustration of the Dragonfly robotic rotorcraft flying above the surface of Titan. Dragonfly has eight spinning propellers, several cameras, and landing skids similar to a helicopter.
ALT A panorama shows a long expanse of Jezero Crater from the viewpoint of the Perseverance rover as it explores the crater's western rim. From the right are rocky outcrops and then it dips into the crater to show a pocket of sandy dunes and a long stretch of Martian surface before curving along the right to more rocky outcrops from the rim.
