Rock samples collected by NASA’s Perseverance Rover on the surface of Mars have already begun to see the light of day. Preliminary analysis by NASA researchers has indicated that there has been water on Mars for a long time. News Engadget.
According to the report, water has existed in the Jezero crater on Mars for about 1 million years. As a result, there was a favorable environment for microscopic life.
The mission team also identified crucible salts there, which are thought to have formed as a result of water flowing over the rocks. This salt not only retains the old water of Mars, but can also carry the existence of life there.
Both specimens came from a single stone. As a result, it will take more time to unravel the mystery of Mars. Even Perseverance has not yet been able to collect samples from its next location. Even then, the information that the researchers have found will be of great help in conducting future missions to Mars and, above all, in verifying the suitability of living on Mars.
