About

This image shows the rocky outcrop the Perseverance science team calls "Berea" after the NASA Mars rover extracted a rock core (right) and abraded a circular patch (left). The image was taken by one of the rover's front hazard cameras on March 30, 2023, the 749th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Perseverance grinds, or abrades, circular patches into rocks so its science instruments can analyze the rocks' composition. The rock core it obtained, about the size of a piece of classroom chalk, was sealed in an ultra-clean sample tube. It is currently being stored in the rover's Sampling and Caching System. A key objective for Perseverance's mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the searc — NASA JPL · 2023. ABD devlet eseri: kamu mali, ticari islerde de serbestce kullanilabilir.
