"Perseverance Rover's Latest Mars Discoveries Revealed in Stunning Photos"
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Perseverance Rover has captured 152 images of Belva Crater, a large impact crater within the far larger Jezero Crater, using the Mastcam-Z instrument. The images provide the rover's science team with deep insights into the interior of Jezero. Impact craters like Belva can provide a type of natural roadcut, revealing multiple locations of exposed bedrock as well as a region where sedimentary layers angle steeply downward. The science team suspects the large boulders in the foreground are either chunks of bedrock exposed by the meteorite impact or that they may have been transported into the crater by the river system.
