These ultra-precise images are captured by the “SuperCam”, a device that allows researchers to see what is on the surface of the red planet.
Recall that the Perseverance robot began its mission in July 2020 near the planet’s Jezero crater, in order to find evidence of extraterrestrial life, reports CNN.
