After seven nail-biting minutes, this aptly-named craft touched down in the Jezero Crater. Because Jezero had likely once been a lake, scientists are hoping to discover traces of past and/or present microbial life there.
It didn’t take long for Perseverance to begin searching in earnest. Within minutes of landing, two photos of the rocky spot were beamed back to NASA.
