Story highlights
The image of the Martian dawn clicked by NASA's Perseverance rover even shows clouds in the Martian atmosphere.
It's just before sunrise. Sunrays have gently started piercing the distant atmosphere and clouds are seen 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 moments taking place millions 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 its atmosphere nonetheless. The eerie but beautuful image has been clicked by NASA's Perseverance rover which is still scouring the Matian 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.
