      Explanation: What if you saw your shadow on Mars and it wasn't human?   
      Then you might be the Perseverance rover exploring Mars. Perseverance   
      has been examining the Red Planet since 2021, finding evidence of its   
      complex history of volcanism and ancient flowing water, and sending   
      breathtaking images across the inner Solar System. Pictured here in   
      February of 2024, Perseverance looks opposite the Sun and across   
      Neretva Vallis in Jezero Crater, with a local hill visible at the top   
      of the frame. The distinctively non-human shadow of the car-sized rover   
      is visible below center, superposed on scattered rocks. Perseverance,   
      now working without its flying companion Ingenuity, continues to search   
      Mars for signs of ancient life.
