After the device was disconnected for several weeks, the device reconnected on October 25, returning to search for signs of ancient life on the Red Planet. Since then, Perseverance has been studying rock outcrops in the South Seite, an area of ​​Jezero crater of interest to the NASA team. The rover’s robotic arm is equipped with an abrasive tool that can slide through rock layers to explore the interior of various minerals and granular sediments. According to scientists in charge of the mission, this discovery could have many interpretations, but they are still not sure what it could be. Looking inside, you can see something that no one has ever seen. I rubbed off a small part of this stone to remove the surface layer and see what is underneath. I was aiming at my next sampling target from Mars. The rock mineral content in Jezero Crater, which was once the site of a lake 3.7 billion years ago, functions as an ancient sealed time capsule, writes CNN. Minerals can provide researchers with information about how rocks formed and what the climate was like at the time.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has begun exploring a series of layers of rocks in Mars’ Jezero crater that may have formed in liquid water.

After stay offline for several weeks, the device reconnected on October 25, returning to search for signals from old life on the red planet
Since then, Perseverance has been exploring rock outcrops in the South Seite region crater lake which is of interest to a group of NASA scientists. The rover’s robotic arm is equipped with an abrasive tool that can scratch rock layers examine its interior.

“Spots like these often form in water, and they may contain clues about what their environment was like. Let’s see if this is the right place for [coletar] samples from Mars, “- said in a message on the rover’s Twitter page.

After shattering those rocks, the rover sent out images showing what was beneath the outer layer: what looked like granular minerals and sediment.

According to scientists in charge of the mission, this discovery could have many interpretations, but they are still not sure what it could be.

Look inside to see something that no one has ever seen. I rubbed off a small part of this stone to remove the surface layer and see what is underneath. I aimed at the next target to collect samples from Mars.

The mineral composition of the rocks of the Jezero crater, which was once place of the lake 3.7 billion years ago, works like an old sealed time capsule, he’s writing CNN.

Minerals can provide researchers with information about how rocks formed and what the climate was like at the time.
