A new 360-degree video shot from such perseverance has been released. The view of Perseverance looks like this, and it's a sandy area. The existence of the mountain can be confirmed from a distance.

Since the released video is a '360-degree video', you can move the viewpoint up, down, left, and right by dragging and dropping the mouse or using the controller button on the upper left.

If you tilt the camera toward you, you can see the perseverance in the camera.

Although it cannot be confirmed in this video, illustrations of successive Mars probes such as Pathfinder are drawn on the arm part that supports the 360 degree camera.

In addition to this, the parachute used by Perseverance before landing on Mars had a red and white pattern drawn on it ...

By replacing this pattern with '1 for red and 0 for white', dividing it into 10 characters, adding 64, and converting it to ASCII code, '34 ° 11'58' N1 18 ° 10'31 'W' ' The message 'Dare Mighty Things' emerges.

It looks like the internet has cracked the code in something like 6 hours! Oh internet is there anything you can't do? For those who just want to know: # Mars2020 # CountdownToMars pic.twitter.com/yTJCEnbuLY

'34 ° 11'58' N1 18 ° 10'31 'W' is the coordinates of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which launched Perseverance, and 'Dare Mighty Things' is a statue on Mount Rushmore. The motto of the Perseverance team, 'Dare to challenge difficulties,' is derived from the remarks of the 26th President Theodore Roosevelt, who is also known for this. In this way, Passervialance is not only the best wisdom of mankind but also playful.
