NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity spotted the remains of the parachute and back shell that allowed the Perseverance rover to land on the Red Planet over a year ago.
The images taken by the mast cam showed some of the remains of the parachute, which were half a mile away.
Thanks to the aerial prowess of Perseverance's helicopter, we now have a closer and detailed view of the backshell that protected it during its descent through the Martian atmosphere.
The Mars helicopter flew over Perseverance's parachute and back shell, and I have to say it's amazing.

Perseverance and Ingenuity have spent several weeks backpedaling on their journey south of the Jezero Crater, an area believed to be an ancient lake bed.
During Ingenuity's latest and 26th flight, the helicopter met an additional challenge: the presence of hardware from Perseverance.
The original five flights that Ingenuity was supposed to complete have been surpassed by 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 It is appropriate for it to return to the site of its landing to complete its victory lap.
