This is the first ever recorded audio capturing what Mars sounds like. Perseverance took in the extraordinary sights and sounds of the distant planet as it made a nail-biting landing. The NASA rover filmed as it touched down in the 'seven minutes of terror' finale to its 300million mile journey. The mission also released the first panorama of the rover’s landing location on Monday, taken by two navigation cameras located on its mast. "This video of Perseverance’s descent is the closest you can get to landing on Mars without putting on a pressure suit,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA associate administrator for science.
