The cliff-like brown hills you see here are more evidence of that river. That canyon was carved by a river about three and a half billion years ago, when the climate of Mars was very different from today. They’re more than half a mile high and about six miles away.
The mountains that you see in the background are the rim of the crater. If you were on Mars, everything would appear pink, including the sky.īy enhancing the image, we make it easier for the science team to use our everyday experience to interpret the landscape. The blue sky is an indication of the enhancement we’ve done to the image. This is a combination of images taken by Mastcam-Z, so it’s incredibly rich in detail. Ken: This enhanced-color mosaic from the Perseverance rover on Mars allows our team to walk right into the scene in Jezero Crater. įor more information on the Perseverance rover, visit. 18, 2021.įor more information on this panorama is available at. Perseverance touched down on Mars on Feb. The sky on Mars would not actually look blue to a human explorer on the Red Planet, but pinkish. This makes it easier for the science team to use their everyday experience to interpret the landscape. The color enhancement exaggerates small changes in color from place to place in the scene.
The enhanced-color panorama was created from images taken on Nov. Perseverance Project Scientist Ken Farley points out highlights in this Martian panorama from the rover's Mastcam-Z instrument, including mountains that make up the crater rim, remnants of an ancient river delta that could preserve signs of ancient life, volcanic rocks, and boulders likely carried into the crater by the river in the distant past. This guided tour of Mars' Jezero Crater from NASA’s Perseverance rover provides a glimpse of the Martian landscape from the rover's highest vantage point yet in the “Séítah” region.
