The University of Arizona-operated High Resolution Imaging Experiment camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured the Feb. 18 descent of NASA s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover, the latest rover to touch down on the Red Planet. In the image above, Perseverance s landing capsule can be seen falling through the Martian atmosphere, with its parachute trailing behind.
Since entering the orbit of Mars in March of 2006, the HiRISE camera, provided and operated by the UArizona Lunar Planetary Laboratory, has photographed the surface of the Red Planet in unprecedented detail. The camera also provided data that helped Perseverance navigate to its designated landing site.
NASA s Mars 2020 mission is the first to land not just a surface vehicle, but also an air-going vehicle in the form of a drone strapped to the underside of the rover.

SHANE BYRNE FELT like a tourist in his own town. March 2003. Ireland and England were going for a Grand Slam and a quarter of a million people were milling around Dublin’s streets sniffing out a ticket.
The effort expended in playing for over an hour with a man down took its toll in the final quarter against Wales, according to ex-Ireland hooker Shane Byrne.
49 - Reggie Corrigan - Leinster, Ireland (47 caps). Honours: Celtic League 2001.
Corrigan is one of those who had made the breakthrough during the difficult days of the 1990s and had a period out of the international picture before becoming the cornerstone of the Irish scrum around the 2003 World Cup.
A consistent performer who was rock solid at the set-piece, he captained Leinster to the Celtic League triumph in 2001 and retired in 2006.
48 - Shane Byrne - Leinster, Saracens, Ireland (41 caps). Honours: Celtic League 2001, Lions 2005 (4 Tests).
A late bloomer, Byrne had to bide his time until Keith Wood retired, but once he got his chance the Blackrock hooker made the most of it.
