This is the best evidence I’ve ever seen for water on Mars: NASA’s Perseverance rover spotted a tangled mess of wire on Mars, which looks like it was left behind by a desperate angler.
Where there’s fishing, there must be water, right? In fact, this small piece of trash is likely something left over from Perseverance’s parachute, or descent stage, or even the backshell,
An ‘Invisible’ Black Hole Has Been Discovered Outside Of The Milky Way
NASA rover has discovered a strange tangled object on Mars.
which allowed the rover to return safely to the Martian surface in February 2021. What did you do? Our lead image is a close-up view of the wire tangled with the Persistence’s onboard front-right hazard avoidance camera.
You can see how short the wire is in the image below, comparing it to the rover’s wheel and the end of the rover’s robotic arm. The arm’s “turret” touches a rock from which the rover’s drill probably took a sample.
The constellation is like a hand carrying scientific cameras, mineral and chemical analyzers to study the past habitability of Mars and to store the most scientifically valuable samples for possible future return to Earth. Choos
Apparently, the Martian breeze blew the wire nearer to the meanderer.
And like a jumbled mess, the wire has now moved on, as if a few days later, the wire is missing from the scene. The Ingenuity found several remnants of the landing, including its own parachute, and the Ingenuity helicopter took pictures of the blown-out and broken backshell.
Stressed over all the garbage abandoned by the meanderer? so, says our friend and image editing expert Stuart Atkinson.
“In 100 years or something like that, the Martians will be anxiously gathering everything and either showing off it in exhibition halls or transforming it into “authentic gems,”
as we call it. Do with fossils, amber and meteorites. Learn more about the proposed sample return mission in a recent article at UT by Lawrence Tognetti, discussing how Persistence is currently looking for a good landing site for such a mission.
