The Mars Rover Landing will be happening tomorrow, and we can watch it happen live! Remember last year when NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover left Earth? Well it’s finally touching down on Mars. Nasa will be broadcasting live tomorrow starting at 3:15pm our time. Perseverance is expected to land on Mars at about 4:55 p.m. What’s really cool is the Rover is suppose to touch down in the Jezero Crater. Part of that crater was named after “Prince Edward Island National Park”. It was named by scientist, Peter Willis who is from the island and part of the Mars Rover Mission.
