According to scientists, it’s highly likely that the Perseverance rover may already have rolled over signs of life on Mars. This assessment comes as the latest data from the rover hints at the existence of the sediments of a dried-out lake on the planet, which was once fed by a large river.An analysis of data confirmed that the Jezero Crater once contained a delta system. The car-sized, six-wheeled rover, nicknamed Percy, was sent in 2021 to investigate the crater on Mars. Underground radar images suggest that the rover is investigating the perfect spot on the planet where it could already have stumbled upon signs of microbial life
“From orbit we can see a bunch of different deposits, but we can’t tell for sure if what we’re seeing is their original state, or if we’re seeing the conclusion of a long geological story,”
David Paige from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).
