Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 850.5 Hz, 141 cents sharp of G5, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
NASA's Perseverance rover, which landed on Mars in February 2021 to look for signs of ancient life and to collect rock samples. This is a computer-made scene built from NASA's 3D models of the rover, drawn with splats.
Tap Labels (a button on the stage's right edge) and 22 numbered markers appear on its parts, from the wheels and the coring drill to the cameras, the antennas, and the sample tubes. Tap one to read about it while the view glides there; ‹ and › step through them. Tap the rover itself and it hops.
