Perseverance: Nasa's Mars Rover Celebrates 1,000 Days Of Science

Recently, NASA's Perseverance rover has hit a major milestone, celebrating 1,000 Martian days of scientific exploration. In that time, it's managed to survey an ancient crater lake and gather rock samples that could be clues to past life on Mars.
