Another First: Perseverance Captures the Sounds of Driving on Mars
As the Perseverance rover began to make tracks on the surface of Mars, a sensitive microphone it carries scored a first: the bangs, pings, and rattles of the robot’s six wheels as they rolled over Martian terrain.
“A lot of people, when they see the images, don’t appreciate that the wheels are metal,” said Vandi Verma, a senior engineer and rover driver at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “When you’re driving with these wheels on rocks, it’s actually very noisy.”

An Unexpected Hubble Discovery Just Changed Our Understanding of Star Formation
What we thought may have been an off-switch for star formation doesn't appear to work that way after all.
The Perseverance rover just released the debris shield that protected the Mars helicopter, Ingenuity, during landing.
So begins the process to safely deliver it to the surface of the planet. It's stowed sideways, folded up and locked in place, so there’s some reverse origami to do before it can set it down. First Perseverance will be off to the designated “helipad” a couple days drive from here.
