Historical! The NASA spacecraft that landed on Mars sends the first images

After a 7-month journey, NASA's Perseverance spacecraft landed on the surface of Mars, a moment that has caused the specialists of the American space agency to burst into applause and tears.

"Here Maris, Crater Jezero. All right, the discount was OK ”; this message was enough for the control center in Pasadena to be relieved of tension and to start cheering and hugging for the success achieved after months of anxiety and 471 million kilometers traveled towards the red planet.

Perseverance has already launched to Earth the first images taken of it, which are already being analyzed by experts. Former US Vice President Mike Pence was the first to congratulate NASA on Twitter for this achievement.

This is the third visit to the red planet in just over a week. Two spacecraft from the United Arab Emirates and China entered orbit around the planet last week. For the journey of NASA's largest, six-wheeled spacecraft, the latter has joined the European Space Agency to bring rocks from Mars that could indicate whether life has ever existed on Mars. .

This is a historic day for the 1,000 inhabitants of the Bosnian town of Jezero. The name was given to the 49-kilometer-wide crater, which is thought to have once been flooded by water, by the International Astronomical Union. Jezero in some Slavic languages ??means lake.
