TL;DR Summary

NASA's Perseverance rover has captured images of an expansive boulder field on Mars, providing evidence of once-roaring rivers and vast amounts of water on the Red Planet. The boulders, which were likely moved by water, indicate that the ancient waterways on Mars were deeper or flowed faster than previously thought. Scientists are studying the characteristics of these past rivers to understand if any primitive life may have evolved in Mars' waterways and moist environments. Perseverance's primary objective is to search for signs of ancient microbial life and collect Martian rock samples for further analysis.
