The probe landed on Mars on February 18, 2021, choosing the 45 km wide Lake Lake crater as the landing site.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered volcanic rocks beneath Lake Zero Crater that may hold clues to Mars’ climate history and determine when the planet was habitable. Space.com reported.

“We were very pleased to find igneous rocks. Most of us expected to study the rocks deposited in the lake, and it took us a long time to understand the fact that the rocks at the bottom of the crater igneous,” said Ken Farley, Caltech professor of geochemistry and Project Scientist on the NASA Mission.

It was noted that the discovery of volcanic rocks came as a surprise, as experts assumed that the Perseverance rover would land on sedimentary rock formed from mud and detritus deposited by an ancient lake that filled the rover’s landing site about 3.7 billion years ago. years ago.

The origin of the Lake’s igneous rocks remains a mystery, experts say, because there are no obvious volcanic features at or near the crater.
