Meet the Mars Samples: Pelican Point (Sample 22)
Ғылым және технология
Meet the 22nd Martian sample collected by NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover - “Pelican Point,” the first sample taken from an area in Jezero Crater that has intrigued scientists since orbital images showed it to be rich in carbonate, a mineral linked to habitability. What formed this “Margin Unit” - ancient volcanoes, an ancient shore line, or something else? By answering that question, scientists can better understand the evolution of the Red Planet.
As of early December 2023, the Perseverance rover has collected and sealed 23 scientifically selected samples inside pristine tubes as part of the Mars Sample Return campaign. The next stage is to get them to Earth for study.
Considered one of the highest priorities by the scientists in the Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey 2023-2032, Mars Sample Return would be the first mission to return samples from another planet and provides the best opportunity to reveal the early evolution of Mars, including the potential for ancient life. NASA is teaming with ESA (European Space Agency) on this important endeavor.
A key objective for Perseverance's mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet's geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, as well as be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith (broken rock and dust).

Margin Unit is extraordinary.
Very promising 🤞
It Is really interesting

That would be spelling it phonetically (how it's originally pronounced)

NASA can I join you to go to mars this is my dream I would like to go there and return to earth... please say yes😍😃 my name is Matheus Enrique I live in Brazil
Nasa,in 2050 i can join with nasa jpl i make rover,satelite and lander! And i can make other planets like mercury,venus,mars jupiter,saturn,uranus and neptune
First❤
Enough frivolous theories bring proof or give us a refund…😊
Theyre all fractal toroidal moments. Can be traced back. earth is covered with them. They are tiny, or massive. if you notice any patterns with these, which im sure NASA has, considering the Egyptian stuff theyve used before. the shapes do appear there too, and on every moon and planet i can access. theyre opposite opposites, opposites. can see it good on earth. from starting point, it would ne white/black remove matter mirror then remove matter. very consistent. theyn have in a few labs show to move matter up the table to something else. the symbols for these and how to make the device to to so is in everyn ancient civ ever. But dont go comparing the galactic center with any of it. certainly the guy on the right right the phase shifted staff. not important. Think were getting near the 26k cataclysm cycle when our axil recession will be 0 degrees with the galactic core. also not important. woonder if the core samle we took from the deepest hole before the qucikly shut down had mathing symbols
