Perseverance rover shows up Curiosity with discovery of Martian water park
That makes photos of a location in the curvilinear unit a quarter mile from Skrinkle Haven, a lone rocky hill called"Pinestand," even more significant: it's 66 feet tall, which defies understanding of formations caused by Earth rivers."These layers are anomalously tall for rivers on Earth … But at the same time, the most common way to create these kinds of landforms would be a river," Ives said of Pinestand.
Discoveries like these are crucial to helping scientists narrow their search for life, extinct or otherwise, on Mars that could be hibernating deep under the surface of the now-dry planet or preserved as fossils in Martian river rock., NASA said, and the rover's team is continuing to look at images from Perseverance's mastcam for further evidence of water and extinct life on the Red Planet.
Along with examining photographs, the team will also be using Perseverance's ground-penetrating radar to look for additional evidence of water flow while the rover scouts Mars in advance of human exploration. ®
