This thread is for those rockhounds among us to discuss the new terrain we'll see as Perseverance scoots around her new home. Let's get dirty & technical!
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

nice to see preliminary results already!
"Scientists were able to reveal that Máaz was basaltic, meaning it contained a substantial amount of magnesium and iron, BBC News reported. They are yet to discover whether the 'rock itself is igneous, ie volcanic, or perhaps if it is a sedimentary rock made up of igneous grains that were washed downriver into Jezero lake and cemented together,' said SuperCam chief investigator, Roger Wiens" https://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-persev...lopments-2021-3 https://mars.nasa.gov/news/8885/perseveranc...-first-results/ |
