The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASAfor its acronym in English) was surprised to share the image, presented as a video, more detailed from surface of mars captured by him Perseverance rover, deployed on the “red planet”.
What does the surface of Mars look like in the NASA image?
The images shared by NASA show some of the sedimentary rocks that scientists study of the “red planet”.
According to the agency, the improvement of image allows the scientists interpret the landscape:
“Color enhancement in this image improves visual contrast and accentuates color differences. This makes it easier for the science team to use their everyday experience to interpret the landscape.”

In shown by NASAdarker gray layered rocks can be seen, “which form the approximately 32 foot high cliff in front of the rover”explain it agency.
The rocks captured amazingly in the image have been shaped over a long period of time, in the called “red planet”.
“These rocks have been sitting on the surface of Mars for billions of years, and during that time, wind erosion has shaped the surface into some pretty interesting shapes like this balanced rock.”

Through a statement, NASA explained that the rover Perseverance Mars, author from detailed image of marsis exploring a part “really important”.
“NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover is now exploring a really important part of Jezero Crater. About 3.5 billion years ago, a river emptied into Lake Jezero, depositing mud and sand on the crater floor, forming an ancient delta… We think these are some of the finer-grained sedimentary rocks deposited in the Delta. Fine-grained rocks are important because they are often good places to look for signs of ancient life.”
