      Explanation: The multicolor, stereo imaging Mastcam-Z on the   
      Perseverance rover zoomed in to capture this 3D close-up (get out your   
      red/blue glasses) of the Mars Ingenuity helicopter on mission sol 45.   
      That's Earth-date 2021 April 5. Casting a shadow on the Martian   
      surface, Ingenuity is standing alone on its four landing legs next to   
      the rover's wheel tracks. The experimental helicopter's solar panel,   
      charging batteries that keep it warm through the cold Martian nights   
      and power its flight, sits just above Ingenuity's two 1.2 meter (4   
      foot) long counter-rotating blades. Thirteen sols later, on April 19,   
      Ingenuity became the first aircraft to perform powered, controlled   
      flight on another planet. It has since gone on to complete more than 50   
      flights through the thin atmosphere of Mars.
