Mars rover discovers evidence of ancient waterways in Gale Crater region

NASA’s curiosity trip is looking at a region with evidence of ancient waterways, including rivers, lakes and perhaps an ocean, as well as a “box” pattern that was previously seen only from orbit on Mars.

Mars Rover’s new images and data revealed questions about how the surface of the red planet changed billions of years ago. Scientists are still unable to answer why the planet’s water is dry and turned the surface into a cold desert.

Curious Rover showed that the water is drained under the surface when evidence occurs in a region called Gale Crater.

NASA said she found groundwater evidence in the crater when she encounters cross -low backs, some of which are just a few inches tall and defined as arranged by geologists in a box model.

Under the poles, scientists believe that when the groundwater dripped from the rock and left behind the minerals accumulated in cracks and cracks. The minerals then hardened and became like cement.

Although minerals remained, the formations were worn out after NASA called “sandblasting eons” from the wind of Mars.

Rover has already analyzed the ridges that scientists say that it looks more like a crumbled sidewalk.

However, the patterns created over time extend to miles of a layer of 3 miles long Sharp Mountain. NASA said the traveler has climbed to the skirts of Mount Sharp since 2014.

What scientists find interesting about box patterns is that they cannot be found anywhere else on the mountain with the hill or curiosity of the orbits.

“A great mystery is a great mystery, your ridges, these big patterns and why just hardened here,” NASA’s curiosity project from NASA’s Jet drive lab in Southern California. “As we continue, we will examine the ridges and mineral cements to make sure that our idea of ​​how they are.”

NASA said it was located in a part of the Sharp Mountain, which was formed in various periods of the old Mars climate. Therefore, as it rises from the oldest largest layers to the youngest, it is time to look for signs and search for signs that there is water on Mars and which environments will support microbial life in the old times of the planet.

NASA, “Rover is currently investigating a layer with plenty of salty minerals called magnesium sulfates.” He said. “The assets here show that this layer emerges as the climate becomes dry.

The latest clues exposed on Mars may give scientists additional ideas about why box patterns are formed where they are doing.

NASA is the main rock between the ridges, a large number of small fractures filled with white vessels of calcium sulfate, which is a salty mineral left behind when the groundwater drips from the cracks in the rocks. In the lower layers of the mountain, similar vessels were found abundant and one was enriched even with clays. However, so far, none of the vessels have been detected in sulfate.

“This is really surprising,” said the project scientist Abigail Fraeman said. “These calcium sulfate vessels were everywhere, but as they rose to the Sharp Mountain, they disappeared more or less. The team is excited to understand why they are back now.”

Curiosity Rover was released on November 26, 2011 and landed on Mars on 5 August 2012. The mission was to find out if Mars had the right environmental conditions to support life, and previously discovered the chemical and mineral evidence of the river past.
