In today's image, we see a 3D image of the Ingenuity helicopter sitting on the surface of the planet Mars. If you have red/blue 3D glasses, you can view the image in 3D. Ingenuity has now completed more than 50 flights through the Martian atmosphere and helped to improve our understanding of the red planet as well as how a helicopter like this can be used to assist in exploration of other worlds.
