“Hello, world. My first look at my forever home,” one of the pictures was shared with this caption. Another picture was tweeted on the same thread with the caption, “And another look behind me. Welcome to Jezero Crater.”

Though people flooded social media, especially Twitter, with congratulatory posts about this scientific triumph, there were some who took the opportunity to churn out hilarious memes.

From the show The Mandalorian to viral picture of US Senator Bernie Sanders to Matt Damon in the movie The Martian to vibing cat, people shared memes with various references.
