Bright Rocks and “Bright Angel”
Last week the Perseverance rover descended into Neretva Vallis, an ancient river channel that brought water into Jezero Crater billions of years ago. Rocks found in Neretva Vallis could have come from far upstream, giving us the opportunity to examine material which may have come from many kilometers away. Turning north into the channel has . https://science.nasa.gov/b...#nasa #space #news #nasa_blogs #nasa_iss_research #nasa_astronauts #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_matthew_dominick #nasa_tracy_caldwell_dyson #nasa_nasa_headquarters #nasa_nasa_safety_center #nasa_citizen_science #nasa_earth_science #nasa_floods #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_missions #nasa_stars #nasa_the_universe #nasa_galaxies #nasa_science_ &_research #nasa_sounding_rockets #nasa_spinoffs #nasa_technology_transfer #nasa_apollo_8 #nasa_william_a ._anders
