A new time-lapse released by NASA shows its Perseverance rover speeding across the surface of Mars.

To be clear, Perseverance doesn’t really move that fast. The rover’s top speed on flat, hard ground is a mere 4.2-centimeters per second, or 152 meters per hour — a little less than 0.1-miles per hour.

To create the effect of rapid movement, NASA sped up the time-lapse (below) up by about 200 times, with around 30 seconds between each frame.

The resulting footage offers a clearer idea of how the rover tackles the martian terrain, its on-board sensors and software expertly steering the autonomous vehicle around rocky patches on the planet’s surface.
