A new study has revealed insights into how cells sense and respond to the weightlessness experienced in space. The information could be useful for keeping astronauts healthy on future space missions.

The film we are presenting as a special edition of our 'Mars image of the month' series offers a virtual flight over the Jezero impact crater and its surroundings, the landing site of NASA's Perseverance rover. It was created using an image mosaic consisting of several separate images, which was based on observations made by DLR's High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express
