NASA's latest Mars rover, Perseverance, has beamed the first acoustic recording of laser sounds taken from the red planet back to Earth.

The U.S. space agency said an audio file obtained from an instrument called SuperCam contained sounds of a laser impacting its target—a rock formation named "Máaz" that was approximately 10 feet away from the exploration rover—on March 2.
