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. But its mission is far from over, as the rover now faces the challenge of returning these invaluable samples to Earth. Perseverance has thus far collected 13 rock cores, each telling a distinct story about Mars's history. The next phase of its journey is to explore even more ancient terrains. As Dr. Lori Glaze, NASA's director of planetary science, puts it, "It's a pretty incredible achievement and we've done an amazing amount of science." So much has already been accomplished, and this audacious robotic mission is only just beginning.
