NASA found Water impact in Mars' rocks spotted by Perseverance Rover

In a latest video and data the following was released by NASA regarding a water impact on MARS as spotted by the Perseverance Rover... Read on...

"On March 10, 2021 NASA published Perseverance Supercam’s image analysis of Mars’ rocks for water presence on Red Planet in the past. There are many Martian rocks with basaltic component in their structure created by oceanic water. A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith (broken rock and dust).

Analysis of SuperCam data shows that Máaz has a basaltic composition. It is either an igneous (in other words, volcanic) rock or consists of fine grains of igneous material that were cemented together in a watery environment. The target was 10.4 feet (3.17 meters) from the rover. The image field of view is 2.3 inches (6.0 centimeters) in diameter." Credit: nasa.gov, NASA/JPL-Caltech
