An "otherwordly" crash site of another spacecraft was photographed by a NASA helicopter. Back in 2020, the Perseverance Rover was sent up to the Red Planet with the Mars Helicopter called Ingenuity strapped to the bottom of it.

The images of the 'saucer' were caught by a NASA helicopter orbiting Mars, with experts on the technology used to snap it saying it looks 'otherworldly' even to science boffins like them. But the truth of the matter is a bit closer to hope and nothing to do with little green men hiding behind rocks on the Red Planet.

NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter on Mars captured eerie images of its 2021 landing debris, revealing intact parachute parts. Originally meant for 5 flights, it’s now completed over 70.

There is less money for an ambitious Mars mission. JPL is feeling the direct effects of this, with the third major job cut this year.

JPL, which was founded in 1936 by California Institute of Technology researchers, already went through one round of mass layoffs earlier this year in an effort to reduce costs. In February, JPL cut 530 jobs, which was about 8% of its then-workforce, and laid off 40 contractors.
