Perseverance Rover Finds Evidence of Ancient Asteroid Impacts on Mars' Jezero Crater

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has uncovered compelling evidence of repeated asteroid impacts on the rim of Jezero Crater. A 245-foot-thick rock formation, dubbed the 'Broom Point member,' is estimated to be over 3.9 billion years old, making it one of the oldest terrains studied on Mars. These findings, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, offer crucial insights into a tumultuous period in the early solar system.
