- NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover has arrived at an ancient delta in Jezero Crater, one of the best places on the Red Planet to search for potential signs of ancient life. The delta is an area where scientists surmise that a river once flowed billions of years ago into a lake and deposited sediments in a fan shape.
Rachel Kronyak, a member of the Perseverance science operations team, guides the viewer through this Martian panorama and its intriguing sedimentary rocks. It's the most detailed view ever returned from the Martian surface, consisting of 2.5 billion pixels and generated from 1,118 individual Mastcam-Z images. Those images were acquired on June 12, 13, 16, 17, and 20, 2022 (the 466th, 467th, 470th, 471st, and 474th Martian day, or sol, of Perseverance's mission).
In this panorama, an area called Hogwallow Flats is visible, as is Skinner Ridge, where two rock core samples were taken.
The colour enhancement in this image improves the visual contrast and accentuates colour differences. This makes it easier for the science team to use their everyday experience to interpret the landscape.

Amazing to see, but wow really make you appreciate planet Earth and the ecological diversity. 🌎
I like how the wind forms the perfect 90 degree angles also.
Due to the SP3 hybridized bonds in the rock morphology creating those 90 angles. Cool stuff.
@@ancientheart2532 - Can you please explain how the process of the SP3 hybridized bonds in rock morphology works according to Mars' atmosphere? Also, compare and contrast it to earth's...so we can really get a defined idea of how rocks are shaped on Mars over long expanses of time. Can't wait for your response!
This helps to keep in perspective how fragile and special Earth really is..
Isn't that special to those trying to start ww3
Great quality, clear pictures! (Far better than most CCTV footage we see on Earth!) An astonishing achievement by all who are involved in this "Martian expedition"! 👍
@@donnewton7858 TRUE! I'd say most people here on Earth got their CCTV cameras from the Dollar Shop.
The composition of the rocks are even more varied than the Moon.
As geologist/former astronaut Jack Schmitt would say, "A geologist's paradise if I ever saw one!"
Isn't this where Kirk fought that lizard monster?
It does resemble it, although the hills were much higher.
How odd that it resembles some of our places here on Mother Earth ,like the Sahara Desert ,fascinating,utterly fascinating.
The materials of the planetary disk of the sun at the beginning of the solar system is what makes up all the planets. All the planets are made of all the same stuff. They all follow the same physics and fluid dynamics. It looks familiar because it is. Those who would say it's here are either trolls, mental patients, or simply uneducated.
of course it would! just because it's another planet doesn't mean it's made of magic. it's made of exactly the same materials as here on earth.
@@Mimcubus exactly this.
It looks like our school playground 🎊✨💫
Wow. That is some REEEEAAALLY detailed dirt.
I'm gonna go get high and watch this again.
Incredible..never thought I would be looking at such clear images from Mars..
W O W
This is such an incredible mission. Perseverance and Ingenuity have performed admirably.
Fabulous photographs, what amazing technology. Hats off to the clever people behind this.
I glad I have seen Mars as I never thought I would. Glad this is possible in my lifetime. So sad it is desolate. Martians would have been an incredible discovery.
These are incredible!! Amazing job!!
Balanced rock alright. But, the wind erosion made it round, on 90 degree base rock? Spock could do an hour on this one.
That 'balanced rock ' looks like a piece of art at Tate Modern!! Wonderful video. I love to imagine I'm actually on that Martian landscape!!
Smart to put some scale because usually all these pictures have none .
I'll be impressed when the rover comes across a cemetery with gravestones!
This is proof of how groundbreaking Star Trek was. I was sure Kirk and a Gorn would pop out from behind one of those rocks.
You can clearly sea the layered rocks that obviously at one time were formed by sediments falling through water as our oceans do today, to become layered stone millions of years from now. Wether or not it's liquid water or other forms of liquid, the process is the same here I'm earth. No matter how "alien" a distant planet might be it'll have similar building blocks.
* whether
So jealous of anyone whoever gets to go there. Amazing quality photos.
Nobody has been there this was an unmanned vehicle
@@soltantio I am aware nobody has been there, I am thinking about the future and how amazing it will/would be.
Apply to be one of the first there,see what happends.
Awesome as always
That's the new Unreal engine.
Wouldn’t it be funny if the robot found a Pepsi bottle cap 😁
One of my favorite things about these alien landscapes (which I never really experienced or thought much of until going to the Oregon Sand Dunes) is how they completely distort our sense of scale, size, depth perception. Without our normal references like plants, animals, structures, or even familiar textures it is so hard to imagine how big any of this is. When they said 32 foot cliff I was like, shit, I would've thought maybe half the size. I really just want to go walk around and see for myself.
I remember that exact revelation from one of the men that landed on the moon.
Hey isn’t that the spot where Kirk and the Gorn have their fight?
Fascinating. Would love to go.
Looks like we need to crash Mars and Pluto together to get some water back.
I think I need to go to the “School of Rock” to appreciate this.
Imagine if even just one piece of megalithic structure similar to the ones on earth suddenly gets discovered on Mars.
@Jay Tee LOL. Go ahead. Imagining is free.
Fascinating. Evidence Mars evolved geologically in ways we recognize.
Absolutely bananas.
This is the place some people would like to live.
OMG!
I wish NASA would use calibrated data to depict Mars as it would appear to the human eye, not the white color filtered hues designed to generate an earth like ambience.
I agree. Ditto when it comes to *all* photos from beyond our planet. I want to see exactly what I would see if I were there.
It’s so exciting to watch that it gives me butterflies, just the concept of this exploration is mind boggling!
Jezero Crater - sounds like a good name for a band, or perhaps a dessert...
Earth will look like that one day in the future and who will remember we were here.
Every rocky planet in the universe will look like that someday.
1:42 So cute 🥺
Some of the rock formations look like the Northeast ridge of Mt.Everest!!
that was a lot more zoom than i was expecting to see
Earth like at one time indeed. Highly compelling.
This is just so Cool! Never thought I'd live to see such things!
It looks like a cracking place to take a holiday,the tide looks a long way out though,a bit like Southport.
Rocks and sand and more rocks and sand covers the entire Planet. Big dust storms.
I could’ve sworn I saw two surveyor’s for the Dollar General Corporation in the background..
This was once a thriving planet like earth.
It was very short. Without a magnetic field, the solar winds slowly blew away most of Mar's atmosphere. If Mars had been a little bit bigger...
What keeps the lens clean from debris to transmit clear photos?
Lens covers are not new technology... the concept has been around for a while.
That rock strata reminds me of a butterfinger bar,
Fantastic ...
Just a thought that our earth will be look like that someday in the future made me really sad. Such empty, deserted, dead planet. 😧
And just think, they recorded beautiful martian music with perseverance, also. I prefer Gustav Holst's martian music.
Great can't even escape hippy rock balancing on Mars.
Looks like a debris field. And they zoom fast past some really odd shapes rocks. And the black pixels?
Somewhere, lost in time, there is a very sad tale of the death of a once alive, lush planet, teeming with flora and fauna. Now, Mars is silent in death. A ghost. A warning to Earth, perhaps.
It will happen either way. The question is will we advance enough in the next few million years to seed the galaxy?
How long till the samples make it back to earth?
when are we going to send a system that can drill deeply into the bottom of these "ponds"?
EPIC!!
Yes, this looks like a great place to live!
As someone who can remember a time before whe had pictures of mars, then quite blurry ones I'm gobsmacked with the clarity.
Wonder what mars smells like?
@@jjp.8690 UFO pictures are required by law to be taken by potato cameras. It also covers Big Foot and Sea monsters.
Regret and despair.
Just send rover to the nearest Walmart...
Madam blavatsky wrote in the 1800s that Mars is on a 5,000 year life cycle every 40,000 years. She claims that's where the Elysian Fields came from
Why does no one want to talk about Mar's blue sky?
I like blue and so do the Marians. The filter wheel on the rover camera can shoot light in 8 different wavelengths. Do you like the blue version?
Didn’t know mars looked so foggy
AMAZING !!!
Mars has a microscopic atmosphere. It's almost a vacuum. How such a tiny atmosphere can have any shaping power.
Ti's a God forsaken place really, Mars if you're really honest about it.
Like one giant great cold old, rusty coloured slate mine.
It doesn't give the impression of being freezing cold either, more like a hot rocky desert, going on forever without so much as a cloud in the sky, or frost on the ground, or a little twig, or birdie.
When are they going to fly up on that huge moutain there, in the sunshine, instead of rumaging around drudging in these gloomy quarries, and give us some panoramics..
There maybe gold in them thar hills
This is astounding stuff! Thank you for the post. But I was a bit thrown by the narrator’s mispronunciation of the word “important”. Not the end of the world just odd. Cheers
IDK if it’s the coloration of the images or what but something just feels off about this… I can’t put my finger on it but something doesn’t make sense. And how do they plan to retrieve the samples? Sounds ambitious.
You could go to the NASA site. They might have something.
I know right? It’s almost is if it was from another planet
I'm looking for fossils again - lol
I see layers...sedimentary rocks
Looking for life on a dead planet? Minerals. That would be the more logical expenditure of search resources.
I believe you will find life anywhere where there is water or a resemblance of water you will find life!
It depends on if the right chemistry was available for life to begin. You can take existing life and put it somewhere with water and it may survive, but even on Earth life only started once meaning the ingredients for life to start have to be just right, and it’s obviously very rare.
*Space Belongs to All Mankind - not a few billionaires.*
Everything sounds like it was named by a hillbilly.
Nice to see, but who the h### wants to go and live in that monochromatic nightmare of a planet?!
So beautiful and it’s hard to believe we can actually behold Mars. I’m curious about the rock formations resembling pages of books.
Looks like shale rocks.
@@andrethegiant2877 good point and shale for me as a word implies water involvement.
Mars is not shown as red as they usually do.
The site where the two samples were collected (Skinner's Ridge) show no ground tracks from Perseverance, why?
there are more pictures. NASA.gov
Space magic.
SO AMAZING!!
Noted a type of rock with possibly indented made that normal is strange to see with naturally formed rocks,
Happens in canyons/deserts in America naturally. Anton petrov made a good video explaining it- his channel is very good too.
Can someone kindly tell me if Mars has an atmosphere as I'm curious as to why the sky is so bright or has it been edited that way to give contrast to the images ??
It does. Very thin, mostly CO2.
It looks like a planet that was wiped out and left with no visible life.
This landscape is so interesting to see. Yet my mind doesn't quite grasp how an entire planet can be desolate. It seems like a terrible waste of real estate, but I am not going to be that guy who argues with God about it.
No water. No life.
Looks like Area 51😄👽
Is there something we want on MARS?
Jezero means lake in Serbian,btw.
Whoa
Looks a lot like Utah! Or Arizona
It'd be awesome to find that shot on earth. It's just so darn big. Shame
Ancient huge tree stumps
Can someone explain how the images get back to earth? Wifi ?
Radio.
👍👏
Love these images! You kind of wonder if this is earth in some future?
Earth in the future will become like Venus.
@@rtanidean4931 Google would explain it better.
Why didn't they land the thing near that giant volcano or the huge canyon. More interesting than rocks and sand and sand and rocks.
They go where they judge it's most likely to make scientific discoveries.
Why usa particularly interested in mars? All the 9 planets are equally important
Yes.. or their moons.
closest and easyest to get to , and easyest to land a man (or woman ) on
8 planets not 9😂
Interesting how the blue sky is still being filtered out of the images… 🤷🏻♂️
Plant some seeds that don’t need much water see what happens
Wind driven not alluvial.
Looks like we need to look after earth better and be friendly with each other no wars !!! We have the oceans , trees and animal life . Nothing in our solar system to even make a sandwich on !!!
Hope those samples don't also bring hidden disease???
