Video MARS new 2024 in English

The Perseverance rover spent its first 1000 days on Mars on a route along the delta of an ancient river flowing into the Jezero crater (a lake in ancient times). The rover had about two weeks before communication with Earth was interrupted by the Sun, during which it took about a thousand pictures of the surrounding area. From these images, NASA created a panoramic video, presented it in familiar earthly lighting and invites us to enjoy the views of the Red Planet. To the terrestrial eye, Mars has little light and a lot of red tints. In order for terrestrial scientists to better navigate the geological structures of Mars, looking for analogues of terrestrial rocks, the contrast in the images was increased and the brightness was adjusted. It also made photographs and edited videos more pleasing to the eyes of ordinary citizens. Agree, a brightly lit landscape is much more pleasant to look at than a dim and depressing one.

In the panorama we see dunes and flat rocks up close, apparently polished by the waters that once flowed here. Boulders appear on the horizon that may have been carried by a torrent when water cut a canyon into Jezero Crater billions of years ago. On Earth, these structures would be buried under a layer of rock, but the weak activity of Mars left many of them on the surface. By the color and type of stones, scientists can roughly judge their origin and geological history even without analyzing samples - by eye. The rover has already examined the bottom of the Jezero crater and will soon move up the slope where the river flows into the lake. The route is already well known and it is so successful and safe that the device will be able to climb to the very edge of the crater. The rocks along the route during the ascent will be of particular value. Such rocks on Earth contain traces of ancient life. Usually this is microbial life and expecting to see something larger is bold and almost hopeless. But what cannot be taken away from it is that it will be an exciting journey with anticipation of discovery. Why not? Video source: NASA
