Mars Rover Perseverance Discovers Ancient Asteroid Impact Evidence in Jezero Crater

NASA's Perseverance rover has identified a 3.9-billion-year-old rock formation on Mars's Jezero Crater rim, indicating repeated asteroid impacts. This layered bedrock, among the oldest examined by a Mars rover, provides insights into the early, turbulent history of the solar system. The findings were published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.
