                    Image Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, Ingenuity   
      
      Explanation: On mission sol 872 (Earth date August 3) Ingenuity snapped   
      this sharp image on its 54th flight above the surface of the Red   
      Planet. During the flight the Mars Helicopter hovered about 5 meters,   
      or just over 16 feet, above the Jezero crater floor. Tips of   
      Ingenuity's landing legs peek over the left and right edges in the   
      camera's field of view. Tracks visible near the upper right corner lead   
      to the Perseverance Mars Rover, seen looking on from a distance at the   
      top right edge of the frame. Planned as a brief "pop-up" flight,   
      Ingenuity's 54th flight lasted less than 25 seconds. It followed   
      Ingenuity's 53rd flight made on July 22 that resulted in an unscheduled   
      landing.
