This NASA photo released on February 24, 2021 shows NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover as it got its first high-definition look around its new home in Jezero Crater on February 21,2021 after rotating its mast, or "head," 360 degrees, allowing the rover's Mastcam-Z instrument to capture its first panorama after touching down on the Red Planet on February 18, 2021. - It was the rover's second panorama ever, as the rover's Navigation Cameras, or Navcams, also located on the mast, captured a 360-degree view on Feburary 20, 2021. Stitched together from 142 images, the newly released panorama reveals the crater rim and cliff face of an ancient river delta in the distance. The camera system can reveal details as small as 0.1 to 0.2 inches (3 to 5 millimeters) across near the rover and 6.5 to 10 feet (2 to 3 meters) across in the distant slopes along the horizon. The detailed composite image shows a Martian surface that appears similar to images captured by previous NASA rover missions.
