NASA's Perseverance rover sends eerie photo of dawn on Mars

It's just before sunrise. Sunrays have gently started piercing the distant atmosphere and clouds can beseen moving in the early light. This can well be any morning right here on Earth. But thanks to NASA, we have been able to describe few such moments passingmillions of miles away on Mars.

The scene looks just like one on Earth. Mars has an atmosphere of its own. It's very thin compared to Earth but it isatmosphere nonetheless. The eerie but beautiful image has been clicked by NASA's Perseverance rover which is still scouring the Martian surface to make its observations and search for signs of possible life on the planet.

"Dusty and cold, sure – but Mars has a certain, raw beauty," said NASA in its tweet as it posted the moments captured by Perseverance in a form of a Gif.

Perseverance rover is currently in Jezero crater which scientists believe was a sight of a lake filled with water in ancient times on Mars. They believe that it is the best place to search for any signs of past life.

Millions of years ago, Mars has oceans on its surface and possibly life. When the water on Mars started drying up, microbial life may have survived in moist soil and clay at the bottom of lakes before being wiped out.

Perseverance is searching for signs of this.

And in process enthralling us with brilliant pics which can only be taken from the surface of the red planet.
