👉For the first time ever, humanity is seeing something that once lived only in imagination — a real sunset on Mars. Thanks to a NASA rover, we now have an authentic photo of the Sun dipping below the Martian horizon. That makes us the first generation in history to witness this incredible sight. But a Martian sunset doesn’t look like the golden glow we know on Earth. Instead, the sky takes on soft blue tones. This happens because fine dust in Mars’ thin atmosphere scatters sunlight differently,

Perseverance just did something it’s never done before. On Dec. 8 and 10, 2025, the Mars rover completed drives planned by AI – not human mission planners. In a first-of-its-kind demonstration, generative AI created navigation waypoints for the rover, a complex decision-making task typically done by teams on Earth. The test hints at a future where planetary exploration is more efficient and delivers even more science. Learn more: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-perseverance-rover-completes-f

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has completed the first drives on another world that were planned by artificial intelligence. The demonstration hints at a future of more efficient exploration and even more science. “The fundamental elements of generative AI are showing a lot of promise in streamlining the pillars of autonomous navigation for off-planet driving: perception (seeing the rocks and ripples), localization (knowing where we are), and planning and control (deciding and executing the safe
