NASA says that Perseverance discovered a mysterious string on Mars, but it’s origin might not be as interesting as some hoped.
NASA’s Perseverance Rover discovered a mysterious string on Mars. The string was in an area that NASA hadn’t explored yet. However, the space agency doesn’t believe that the string is extraterrestrial in nature. Instead, they believe it may be from the Perseverance’s landing. And that it ended up here thanks to Mars’ strong winds.Perseverance discovered the mysterious string in an area of the Jezero Crater that we haven’t explored yet.
What is most intriguing about the mysterious string that Perseverance found is that the rover had not previously been in that area of the crater before. As such, NASA personnel believe that the string may have been moved there by the wind. This possibility seems most likely, as Perseverance revisited the site four days later, and the object had vanished.That shiny bit of foil is part of a thermal blanket – a material used to control temperatures.
