# NASA Says There Are Still Easter Eggs on Its Mars Rover That Nobody Has Discovered

## I Spy

NASA has been hinting that it hid two more Easter eggs on the Perseverance rover it's currently steering around the surface of Mars — and that nobody has spotted them yet.

The space agency [posted a few clues](<https://twitter.com/NASAPersevere/status/1378022075261063171>) on Twitter, urging followers to investigate and uncover them before a big, on-theme Easter reveal this upcoming Sunday. NASA says that both hidden surprises can be seen in Perseverance's [collection of raw images](<https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/>). But because there are over 16,500 of those online, you may also need the hints that NASA has been dropping on Twitter throughout the week.

## Past Reveals

NASA has a long history of hiding messages on its rovers as a sort of inside joke. Some of the secret messages on Perseverance [have already come to light](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/nasa-engineer-left-secret-code-on-mars-rover-parachute>). For instance, the rover's landing parachute had "DARE MIGHTY THINGS," a phrase borrowed from a famous Theodore Roosevelt speech, encoded in binary on it.

Perseverance also has a "family photo" of previous Mars rovers [on its exterior](<https://twitter.com/ThePlanetaryGuy/status/1363952298179891208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1363952298179891208%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffuturism.com%2Fthe-byte%2Fnasa-engineer-left-secret-code-on-mars-rover-parachute>).

## Tick Tock

For those who want to uncover the last two Easter eggs in time, NASA posted a couple extra hints.

"Hint on Easter egg #1: every vehicle has one. Hint on Easter egg #2: it’s in our nature," [NASA tweeted](<https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1377267228089974791>) on Wednesday. On Friday, NASA [followed up](<https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1378016617397940235>) to mention that the second one is "'wheely' tricky to spot," so, you know, do with that what you will.

Happy hunting!
