Amazing Photo From Martian Orbit!

Jezero Crater is an amazing place to be right now.  Boyd Waters writes:

This image blows my mind: Perseverance Lander descent, hanging from the parachute, captured by the HIRISE camera of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

This phase of the decent lasted only a matter of seconds, at supersonic velocity, falling through the extremely thin Martian atmosphere.

Meanwhile the MRO is moving at orbital velocity. Just incredible work. The planning and execution that culminated in this photograph are profoundly humbling to me

And the code in the parachute!:

He thought about encoding words using binary code. But what would the message be?

While he has never been one to look at a motivational poster and derive much meaning from it, three words stood out to Clark:

"Dare mighty things." The motto, taken from a Theodore Roosevelt speech, is in buildings all across the JPL campus. "Week after week, I definitely never got tired of reading 'Dare Mighty Things,'" Clark said. "And it's not just the phrase, but it's even the broader context of the speech. This great inspirational message really represented the culture of JPL and NASA as a whole." 

He also included the GPS coordinates for JPL on the outer ring of the parachute.
