Mars helicopter Ingenuity snaps incredible aerial photo of Perseverance rover during 51st flight

NASA's Perseverance rover can be seen in the background, while rocks and red Martian soil take up the rest of the image

With over 50 Mars flights under its belt, NASA's Ingenuity helicopter continues to impress.

During its 51st flight on Saturday (April 22), Ingenuity took a photo of its companion robot, the Perseverance rover, from 40 feet (12 meters) above the Martian surface. In the photo, Perseverance can be seen motionless in the planet's red soil in the background, nearly indistinguishable from the large rocks strewn across the Red Planet landscape.
