Before Christmas, NASA released a powerful video showing the impressive Martian landscape from the perspective of the Perseverance-Rovers shows. the Mars images offer a detailed insight and open up a new perspective.
| Information about NASA NASA stands for Nnational A.eronautics and S.pace A.administration. It is a US space agency. For example, it sends probes and rockets into space to explore space. One of NASA’s upcoming goals: In 2024, she wants to send astronauts to the moon. |
Mars images from Perseverance
NASA’s Perseverance rover arrived on Mars in February 2021. Since then he has been providing us with images of Mars. The main objective of the mission is to find signs of life on the red planet.
The video below shows the Jezero crater. Scientists believe that the area was once filled with water. Hence, it offers the best chance of finding ancient life. The panorama consists of 14 individual images:
That can be seen
“This guided tour to the Jezero crater of Mars with NASA’s Perseverance rover offers an insight into the Martian landscape from the rover’s highest vantage point in the ‘Séítah’ ‘region,” reveals NASA.
For example, we see mountains that form the crater rim and volcanic rock. The video explains that the color enhancement exaggerates small color changes from place to place. “This makes it easier for the science team to use their everyday experiences to interpret the landscape. For human explorers, the sky on Mars would not really look blue on the inside of the Red Planet, but rather pink, ”they say.
The video explains exactly what we see and which areas could possibly give us clues about life on Mars that once existed.
| What exactly does Perseverance want? “A major goal of Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including looking for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the geology and past climate of the planet, pave the way for human exploration of the red planet and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rocks and regolith (broken rock and dust), ”said NASA. |
More exciting information
Just a few weeks ago, NASA showed pictures of the Mars rover with a strange triangle in the rock. This year the scientists were able to gain several insights and make discoveries. We have known that about Mars since 2021. You are not only interested in Mars images? Here you can regularly find our space picture of the day. Also, listen to the sound of the Jupiter moon Ganymede.
