Rover perseverance Subordinate Nassa On the surface of the planet Marti Strange rock formation The scholars have been confused. They were baptized as “Skull Hill” (“La Colina de la Calavera”).
It was concluded on April 11, while Rover came down by a summit called Witch Hazel Hill. The rock was found in the jézaro holeThe old Lacosterrin was 45 km away and the NASA operations center was on the Red Planet.
“It seems that it should not be there.”Margaret Dahn, a PhD researcher at Bordeaux University (USA) who works with the perseverance team. Dehn explains that unlike his dusty environment, “Skull Hill” darker, more angle and covered with small holes, leading to the belief that he could reach Mars from elsewhere.
Using a high -tech SuperCam Laser, scientists analyzed a close rock with a similar composition and ignored them The presence of a space metal Thus, it is a meteor.
It did not contain distinctive indicators of space rock, As high levels of iron and nickel. However, NASA experts have not yet given a final answer.
The distinguished theory indicates that “Skull Hill” can be “floating”, a geological term for The rocks that moved from their original place. This means that it could have been thrown on the surface of Mars due to the effect of the old asteroid, which was dragged by corrosion or even trampled water currents billions of years ago.
“Fortunately for us, Rover has tools that can measure chemical composition From rocks on Mars.
