00:00:11,089 --> 00:00:09,110
this enhanced color Mosaic from the

3
00:00:13,009 --> 00:00:11,099
perseverance Rover on Mars allows our

4
00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:13,019
team to walk right into the scene in

5
00:00:21,290 --> 00:00:18,830
this is a combination of images taken by

6
00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:21,300
mass cam Z so it's incredibly rich in

7
00:00:29,870 --> 00:00:27,050
the blue sky is an indication of the

8
00:00:31,609 --> 00:00:29,880
enhancement we have done to the image

9
00:00:34,190 --> 00:00:31,619
fewer on Mars everything would appear

10
00:00:36,290 --> 00:00:34,200
pink including the sky

11
00:00:37,850 --> 00:00:36,300
by enhancing the image we make it easier

12
00:00:53,630 --> 00:00:37,860
for the science team to use our everyday

13
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:54,950
the mountains that you see in the

14
00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:57,600
background are the rim of the crater

15
00:01:14,450 --> 00:00:59,280
they're more than half a mile high and

16
00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:16,190
that Canyon was carved by a river about

17
00:01:19,249 --> 00:01:17,880
three and a half billion years ago when

18
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:19,259
the climate of Mars was very different

19
00:01:21,890 --> 00:01:19,810
from today

[Music]

21
00:01:26,149 --> 00:01:23,939
the cliff-like brown Hills you see here

22
00:01:28,429 --> 00:01:26,159
are more evidence of that River these

23
00:01:30,410 --> 00:01:28,439
are part of the delta when the river hit

24
00:01:31,770 --> 00:01:30,420
Lake jezero its mud and sand were

25
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:31,780
deposited on the crater floor

26
00:01:36,890 --> 00:01:35,119
[Music]

27
00:01:38,690 --> 00:01:36,900
one of the most scientifically

28
00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:38,700
interesting aspects of this Mosaic is

29
00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:40,799
this whitish area here which the science

30
00:01:44,569 --> 00:01:42,360
team has been calling the bacon strip

31
00:01:45,889 --> 00:01:44,579
based on its appearance

32
00:01:47,929 --> 00:01:45,899
we think this is a layer of mud

33
00:01:49,010 --> 00:01:47,939
deposited on the lake Bottom now turn to

34
00:01:50,929 --> 00:01:49,020
rock

35
00:01:52,249 --> 00:01:50,939
that mud layer is important because it

36
00:01:54,050 --> 00:01:52,259
may be the best place to look for

37
00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:54,060
evidence of Martian life that could have

38
00:01:58,190 --> 00:01:55,360
lived in Lake Jezreel

[Music]

40
00:02:01,249 --> 00:02:00,060
the large Boulders on the Delta are

41
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:01,259
another interesting Target for

42
00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:03,960
investigation by perseverance

43
00:02:07,730 --> 00:02:05,700
The Boulders very likely washed down

44
00:02:09,529 --> 00:02:07,740
from far up the river channel from

45
00:02:11,869 --> 00:02:09,539
places too far away for the Rover to

46
00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:11,879
ever go they're a gift that allows us to

47
00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:19,910
as soon as we're done with our

48
00:02:24,050 --> 00:02:22,440
investigation on the crater floor

49
00:02:26,089 --> 00:02:24,060
smaller rocks like these which we think

50
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:26,099
are volcanic we'd like to move quickly

51
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,430
but unfortunately perseverance has to

52
00:02:37,550 --> 00:02:32,879
take a longer route to void these sand

53
00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:44,030
[Music]

54
00:02:49,369 --> 00:02:48,000
mosaics like this one help us learn more

55
00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:49,379
about the ancient Martian environment

56
00:02:53,330 --> 00:02:51,060
and provide new Clues to where to seek

57
00:02:55,130 --> 00:02:53,340
evidence of ancient microbial life we're

58
00:02:57,390 --> 00:02:55,140
just getting started on our long journey
