NASA’s Persemence Mars vehicle has signed another important discovery on the surface of Mars. As a result of research in the Jezero crater region, the Perseverance team managed to capture a rock example called “Silver Mountain”. This example is of great importance because it has a unique texture to shed light on Mars’s geological history.

Persemence has been exploring ancient microbial life traces since he landed in Mars in 2021. Jezero Crater is one of the regions that were thought to have hosted water and is therefore watched with great interest by scientists. This new example has the potential to provide important information about Mars’ past.

NASA officials said that this rock example has a texture “like nothing we have ever seen”. The example will be brought to the Earth in the future and analyzed in more detail and will give important clues about Mars’s past climate. NASA says such examples are critical to see if life exists in the past on Mars.

This discovery of Perseverance constitutes an important part of NASA’s Mars 2020 mission. The aim of the task is to investigate whether Mars is livable and whether there are traces of ancient microbial life. In this context, every example of Perseverance has a great value for the world of science.
