For one day only, you can get a special doughnut that is "out of this world" as Krispy Kreme is launching a limited-edition Mars Doughnut today to celebrate the landing of NASA's Perseverance Mars rover.
The cosmic creation is filled with chocolate creme, dipped in caramel icing that's been dyed to look like the red planet, and topped with chocolate cookie crumbs.
NASA launched the SUV-sized rover in July. It's set to touch down on an ancient lake bed, where it will hunt for signs of past life.
And if you're one of the 11 million people who submitted your name during NASA's "Send Your Name to Mars" -- with almost 11 million participants -- bring your "boarding pass" to Krispy Kreme and your Mars Doughnut is free.
"The landing of Perseverance on Mars will be an epic and important achievement," said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme chief marketing officer, in a statement. "So, we're celebrating the best way we know how: with an amazing new doughnut discovery right here on earth."
