The Mars Perseverance Rover has finally climbed out of the Jezero Crater after being there for nearly four years.
If you have been following the progress of NASA’s Mars Perseverance Rover, you will know that so far, it has exclusively been in the Jezero Crater, which is about 28 miles wide and was formed 3.9 billion years ago.
But as of today, Perseverance is no longer inside Jezero. For the past three and a half months, the rover has been climbing out of the crater’s rim toward what NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is calling “Lookout Hill.” The view from the other side. This is what greeted Perseverance after it had gotten to the summit of Lookout Hill.
