NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover Captured A Mysterious Burst of Light Over Martian Hill

NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover Captured A Mysterious Burst of Light Over Martian Hill
Physics Insight!

When I first previewed this video, there were only 784 views of it, but I ventured off into another set of videos and just came back to this one... It has some 1251 views now and its growing...

I further researched to find what Physics Insight was using for images for their video editing process to yield todays video... Surprisingly, NASA Posts each days RAW images, which have been uploaded from the Perseverance Rover and posts them on their site for others to use... Interesting...

This is the description provided by Physics Insight:

"NASA's Mars Perseverance rover acquired these images using its onboard Left Navigation Camera (Navcam). The camera is located high on the rover's mast and aids in driving. These images were acquired on Jul. 23, 2021 (Sol 151).

This rare phenomenon of burst of light was also seen on May 10, 2021. Though NASA has not given any explanation about this phenomenon but this could possibly be a lens flare which is caused when a light source such as the Sun shines onto a lens during photography."
