The activities of Curiosity They continue to give something to talk about, since they have captured impressive images of the Martian landscape.
Images showing rock formations that suggest evidence of a dry climate in this planet’s ancient past.
El rover Curiosity Mars
This is a device of the NASA who has been traveling through a zone that they have called transition.
This is a clay-rich region, which is filled with a salty mineral called sulfate, and has been focused on for evidence of Mars’ watery past.
According to researchers from the NASA, this transition zone has been shown to provide the record of the major climate change on Mars a few billion years ago.
It seems that they can no longer see the lacustrine deposits that they managed to see for years under Mount Sharp, for example.
If not they have found evidence of drier climateslike dry dunes, which occasionally had streams around them.
According to NASA researchers, as the rover climb higher through the transition zone, detect less clay and much more sulfate.
So they’re waiting for you el rover Curiosity drill the last rock sample in the area and thus can offer a much more detailed view of the changing mineral composition of these rocks.
But with the information they have obtained through the images they have been able to draw some conclusions. since they have noticed unique geological features from which they can deduce things.
Like for example, the hills in the area probably started out in a dry environment of great sand dunes swept by the wind, which gradually hardened into rocks.
This type of study makes the information collected by curiosity be increasingly important.
For what keeps the researchers of the NASA increasingly eager to receive information that will allow them to clarify and establish their theories about the red planet.
