"Perseverance Rover Uncovers Signs of Ancient Water Flows on Mars"
NASA's Perseverance rover has provided a 360-degree panorama of Mars' Jezero Crater, revealing details of the planet's ancient river delta. The panorama, consisting of 993 images and 2.38 billion pixels, helps scientists study the Martian landscape and search for signs of ancient life. The rover has spent over 1,000 Martian days examining various rock layers that document different eras of the crater's history, including those deposited by slow-moving rivers and raging torrents, potentially even remnants of lava flows. The mission continues as Perseverance prepares to explore older rocks and possible hydrothermal environments, offering further clues to Mars' watery past and the potential for past life.
