The new discovery of the rotor on Mars has fascinated scientists

He discovered that volcanic lava once ran into the site of an ancient lake in Mars.

According to CNN, the latest find shows that the lakebed on which it has moved since the landing has been formed by liquid volcanic mortar. NASA scientists say it's “completely unexpected”. It was previously thought that stones at the bottom of the riverbed, which Perseverance photographed, were of semidimentic origin.

The stones that Perseverance has researched so far have been shown to be integrated with water several times and some of the samples contained organic molecules.

These findings can help scientists to create a long - range view of what was happening in Lake Lake, as was called the crater in which Perseverens landed, but there may also be broader implications for understanding Mars.

The new discovery of the Perseverance Rover was announced at the autumn conference of the American Geological Association, which was held in New Orleans.

Exactly, scientists have been asking whether the stones in the Jezero crater are sedimentary - made from layers of material produced by an ancient river or volcanic origin - the one that is created when liquid mortar cools.

I began to despair, thinking we would never know the answer to”, said Ken Farley, a Caltech scientist working on the Persistence Project.

Everything changed when Perseus began to use training to get stone samples.

“Cristals on stones were final evidence,” said Farley.

Perseus is “armed” with a large number of sophisticated instruments that can record and analyze stone samples and detect their composition, especially that mineral.

In November, Perseus used one of their instruments to study the stone that scholars called “Brac”. Large crystals surrounded by other crystals were discovered by the analysis, indicating that it refers to a stone of volcanic origin.

A good geology student will immediately show you that such a text tells us that the stone was formed forming crystals and placing it in a magma that slowly cooled dealt with, for example, a thick layer of liquid linen or a lake of collapse,” explained Farley.

Such a stone then came into contact with water in some cases, which makes it extremely useful for scientists who will be able to date events in the crater lake and better understand the period when water was a normal phenomenon on the surface of Mars to reveal the wounds of the planet's history.

This was totally unexpected. Now we have to figure out what that means. I can speculate that this is probably not the original bed of the crater. Judging by the diameter of the crater, we expect that the original crater bed was evidently deeper than we now see,” said Farley.
