  • 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.

    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.
