Perseverance Mars Rover Landing Today

 

With a lot of skill (and some luck), NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover will be landing in the Jezero Crater on Mars at around 3:55 PM EST today. The landing will cap a 7- month, 293 million mile journey for the robotic astrobiology lab that's the size of an SUV.  

All you need to know is right here at the NASA Science site, including mission overview, landing information, animations, a countdown clock, a link to watch online, and much more.  You can also check out #CountdownToMars on Twitter for running commentary and insights from others observing the event.
