Read previewNASA has snagged a chunk of rock on Mars that could someday prove to be the first clear evidence of alien life. To confirm their suspicions, scientists would need to bring the rock sample to Earth and study it in more detail. Advertisement"We're not saying there's life on Mars, but we're seeing something that is compelling as a potential biosignature," Stack Morgan said. That was the plan that could've brought scientists the Cheyava Falls rock sample. There is a lot going on in this rock," Stack Morgan said.

The Perseverance rover has captured new images that appear to reveal geologic evidence of a fast-flowing river that fed into Jezero Crater, the site of an ancient Martian lake. The bands of rocks in this image of "Skrinkle Haven" taken by the Perseverance rover may have been formed by a fast-flowing river. The rover also captured a mosaic of "Pinestand," where layers of sedimentary rock could have been formed by a deep, fast-flowing river. The Perseverance team is also analyzing other images taken by the rover. We struggle even with early Earth rocks to answer this question.
NASA's Mars rover found evidence to suggest deep, powerful rivers once raged on the red planet. The Perseverance rover took close-up images a specific region in Jezero Crater for the first time. The discovery may help scientists figure out what kind of ancient life existed on the planet. Scientists studying rock formations, features, and valleys on Mars, so far, have found evidence to suggest Mars was once covered by water. NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSSAnother image from Perseverance further supports this idea of a powerful ancient river that once roared across Jezero Crater.
We know Mars rovers are robots, but they feel like friends, or pets. "It's the way the rovers are designed," Abigail Freeman, the deputy project scientist of the Curiosity rover, told Insider. The first selfie NASA's Opportunity Mars rover snapped. Their ability to snap selfies on the Martian surface make them seem self-awareNASA's Curiosity Mars rover created this selfie in front of Mont Mercou. On February 12, 2019, mission controllers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, sent the last commands to ask NASA’s Opportunity rover on Mars to call home.
