\"\"NASA<\/a>‘s largest, most advanced rover, Perseverance<\/a>, touched down on Mars yesterday, after a 203-day journey, traversing 293 million miles.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Mars 2020 mission launched July 30, 2020, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Moments after touchdown, the rover sent back its first photo a few minutes later. It’ll use a special laser to vaporize tiny rocks, analyze the Martian soil, and look for signs of ancient life. The rover also has a small helicopter with cameras and microphones.<\/p>\n

The mission marks an ambitious first step in the effort to collect Martian samples and return them to Earth.<\/p>\n

\"\"All National Sports<\/a> stores in Ontario are closing.<\/p>\n

\"\"The news was announced Thursday that all 18 locations across the province will be closing their doors forever.<\/p>\n

The move seems odd after National Sports announced “outstanding” sales and growth during the last quarter of 2020, with revenue of $4.87 billion.\u00a0The parent company controls brands like Canadian Tire, SportChek, Mark’s and Atmosphere.<\/p>\n

No word yet on when, exactly, the stores will officially shut down and vacate.<\/p>\n
