You check the weather before going out to do your daily tasks on Earth, but have you ever wondered about the weather on Mars? Perseverance, the Mars Rover, just sent its first weather report from the Jezero Crater on Mars! It reported a temperature of -20C, dropping to -25.6C thirty minutes later. The weather data will help scientists and engineers better understand Martian weather patterns and events that could influence the current mission and planning for future missions. https://mars.nasa.gov//nasas-first-weather-report-from-je/

Are you ready? NASA's Mars Rover is landing on Mars on Thursday! The landing occurs at 3:55 pm EST, but you can tune in from 1 pm onward. Learn how to tune in here: https://www.space.com/mars-rover-perseverance-landing-webca
