Welcome to the Mysteries of Bright Angel on Mars!

Exciting news from NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover! The rover has made its way to Bright Angel, a fascinating site on Mars known for its light-toned rocks situated at the edge of the ancient Neretva Vallis river channel. The images and data captured by the rover of the unique color and surface textures of the rocks at Bright Angel are currently being closely examined by the Mars 2020 Science Team.

The team took a closer look at the rocks, particularly at a specific rock formation called “Walhalla Glades,” through a process known as abrasion. This procedure aims to gather high-resolution geochemical data to gain a better understanding of the geological context of Bright Angel within the vast Jezero crater.

By studying the rocks at Bright Angel, scientists hope to uncover valuable insights into the history and composition of this intriguing Martian site. The data collected by the rover could potentially provide clues about the past environmental conditions on Mars and shed light on the planet’s geological evolution over time.

Stay tuned for more updates as the Mars 2020 Science Team delves deeper into the mysteries of Bright Angel and unravels the secrets hidden within the rocks of this enigmatic location on the Red Planet!
