- This is footage from the downward facing camera on the Perseverance rover during its landing, which has been reprojected onto reference satellite imagery with an added scale.

One of the best visualisations of Perseverance's descent. With no reference point it can be difficult to visualise the speed and distance to the Martian surface. Awesome job, I would love to see this done with the Apollo landings.
_"One thing that I found remarkable was the self-similarity of the martian terrain. As the lander descends towards the ground it is hard to get a sense of scale, since there is no familiar frame of reference to tell us how far away the ground is. ..."_
I sure noticed that also. Had no idea the vehicle was that close to the surface until the rocket exhaust started kicking up dust -- and then I was still confused. Stupid fractal Mars.
I can’t seem to wrap my head around the landing. The ground details don’t seem to change too much from 6km up to when dust is visible kicking off. Still an amazing thing to be able to see happen!
Good example of the fractal nature of terrain.
So cool! This grants a ton of perspective to the landing!
This is awesome. While the scale is good, 10km from space with little reference is still hard to comprehend. Would be good to superimpose an airport, small town or globally universal landmark near the landing zone for perspective.
This is amazing!
I wish it had shown the full landing to the end.
Whoever cut this video short is a monster
Would have been ideal if both perspectives were in the same orientation, but, fantastic none the less! Bravo!!!
Cool little project, thanks for sharing this. :)
What can you say, that hasn't already been said below lol. This is an incredible video and I hope in future landings you produce more of these!
Impressive!
Adds some really great perspective, nice work
This is absolutely amazing
Well done! Thanks for an awesome feat of data wrangling. It's easy to take for granted watching this nicely annotated and informative presentation. Thanks as well to Universe Today dot com for directing me here.
Nice perspective: great job!
This is just... Wow. I don't think I've got anything more to say.
This was really cool. Keep ramblin'.
amazingly well doen thanks for this!
Can you extract the pitch an yaw of the vehicle, by calculating the angles from the perspective distortion shown?
Yes you can! I'm to stupid to do that kind of calculations but someone could.
Beautiful
Would be even better if the scale had zero in the middle, not on the very left. Because it always moves. Otherwise it would stay still making it easier to follow.
Thank You
This is so good
Very nice
Cool!!
HI can I modify and add track points on the map and credit you fully?? will link what I had in mind as well
what did you use to create this?
I recommend checking out Matt's blog, there is a post explaining how the video was created.
Holy hell life is amazing right now. Mars, asteroids... I'd say I can't wait until we explore the oceans fully... Wait...maybe not... Cthulhu, polution captain planet... Who knows...
