NASA's Perseverance rover is currently celebrating its 100th day of work on the surface of Mars, but it's not the only vehicle that hit the milestone. The Ingenuity helicopter, which rode to Mars on the belly of the larger rover, has also been on the Red Planet for 100 martian days. The two machines are doing some great work, but a recent photo captured by Ingenuity and posted by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory gave NASA fans a real (fake) scare.
As CNET points out, an exchange between the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Twitter account and a fan addressed a strange object that appeared to be lurking in the distance. It appeared to be a large metal sphere hovering just out of the frame of the photo, and unless you're a NASA scientist you probably wouldn't have been able to guess what it was. It bears a pretty significant resemblance to one of the most feared fictional spacecraft ever to grace the silver screen: The Death Star.
