By now you already know that NASA's Perseverance rover is an impressive machine. It survived the long journey from Earth to Mars, landed in one piece, and has already explored a small area of the surface while its partner, the Ingenuity helicopter, conducted its flight tests. Now that the Mars 2020 mission is finally entering its science phase, Perseverance will get to show exactly what it's capable of, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is here with a new video to get us excited about the possibilities.
In a video showcase published to JPL's YouTube channel, one of the rover's most powerful instruments, the SuperCam, gets its time in the spotlight. You've probably already heard a little bit about the SuperCam. It's packed with high-tech instruments and, of course, a camera. But did you know that it can vaporize rocks? You did? Well, did you know that it can vaporize rocks from 23 feet away? Yeah, it's pretty wild.
