The rover’s latest exploration of Mars’ Jezero Crater discloses evidence of potentially vast amounts of water. Ancient Martian waterways are no longer figments of scientific conjecture. The rover captured images of an expansive field of large boulders, likely displaced by water flow akin to Earth’s rivers. NASA posits that the substantial size of these rocks indicates powerful currents of a depth greater than previous findings. However, these currents are not relics … Continue reading Whispers of a Wet Mars: Perseverance’s Quest for Extraterrestrial Existence
