We know that blue impact craters exist, and now, NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover provides the most detailed look yet of the Jezero Crater Delta. This stunning 2.5-billion pixel panorama of the ancient river delta was made from images captured by the Mastcam-Z camera system, consisting of 1,118 individual frames.
The delta in Jezero Crater is basically an area where researchers believe that, billions of years ago, a river once flowed into a lake and deposited rocks as well as sediments in a fan shape. Deltas are areas believed to be the most ideal on Mars to search for potential signs of ancient microbial life. The panorama depicts sedimentary rocks of great interest to scientists, and the Mars Sample Return campaign could bring several of them back to Earth in the future.

These images were taken in 2022 on June 12, 13, 16, 17, and 20 (the 466th, 467th, 470th, 471st, and 474th Martian days, or sols, of Perseverance’s mission). A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life,” said the NASA Mars 2020 team.
