In the month of February, NASA took one giant leap for the exploration of the red planet.
The space agency released the first-of-its-kind audio and video recording from the Perseverence Rover that landed on Mars on February 18.
The space agency s six-wheeled robot device completed its groundbreaking 470,000,000 km voyage from Earth that started seven months ago.NASA shared some incredible footage of the moment the Perseverance landed on the Red Planet. The recording was of a faint crackling of a gust of wind that was captured by the rover.

Weeks after NASAâs Perseverance rover landed on Mars, NASA released audio files of the wind blowing on the red planet.
The first recording was made on Feb. 19, 18 hours after Perseverance landed on Mars.
According to NASA, winds on Mars can top 60 mph, which is akin to a severe thunderstorm on Earth. While the winds on Mars can get quite gusty, they rarely pack a punch. The Martian atmosphere has just 1% the air pressure of Earth, meaning 60 mph winds would barely be felt.
