While Curiosity recently shared the latest of several selfies it has captured over the years, NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover was not to be outdone, and in its first-ever selfie, it decided to share the spotlight with the Ingenuity drone.

As Digital Trends reports, Perseverance took the selfie with the Ingenuity helicopter drone which is about 13 feet away from the body of the rover.

NASA says the images were taken in sequence while the rover was looking at the drone and then again while it was looking at the camera.

In addition to the still frames above, NASA also put together a gif to show how the Perseverance rover’s “head” moved back and forth between looking at Ingenuity and into the lens of the selfie camera.

These new selfie photos come after Perseverance successfully deployed Ingenuity from its position under the rover in advance of a test flight that is scheduled to take place early this month
