Mars rover Perseverance finally made a move today to set a new record for the distance traveled by a rover on a distant planet - 45.22 km.

It had stayed put in its previous location for 26 days exploring the “Lac de Charmes” area.

This breaks the record held by rover Opportunity, which took almost 3 times as long to cover that distance.

Congratulations Percy!
