An image overlaid with the path taken by Nasa's Perseverance rover since it landed in Jezero Crater on Mars on February 18, 2021. It traces its route from an area called Seitah to Maaz and to its present location at one of the main features in the crater, identified as an ancient river delta, upper left. Red points indicate crater floor sampling locations; blue points indicate the present locations of the Perseverance Rover, left, and the Ingenuity helicopter. Photo: Nasa / Reuters
