NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter took this black-and-white photo while hovering over the Martian surface on April 19, 2021, during the first instance of powered, controlled flight on another planet. It used its navigation camera, which is mounted in its fuselage and pointed directly downward to track the ground during flight. The image shows the shadow of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter on the surface of Mars. The black shadow of the helicopter is very crisp and clear against the white backdrop of the Martian sandy surface. Its wing-shaped rotors jut out from the sides of its square body, and from each corner is a thin leg that has a small ball shape at the end. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
