Curiosity Rover Finds New Clues to Mars’ Watery Past
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2023
- NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has discovered lots of evidence of ancient lakes on the Red Planet - and this recent panorama shows intriguing new clues.
Curiosity, which landed on Mars in 2012, is currently exploring a unique feature known as the “Marker Band” in the foothills of Mount Sharp. Rocks in this area show the clearest evidence yet for waves the mission has ever seen: rippled textures that formed billions of years ago, as waves on the surface of a shallow lake stirred up sediment on the lake bottom.
Farther up the mountain, Curiosity can see more evidence of ancient water: wet landslides caused boulders and other debris to slip down into a valley. Curiosity caught a glimpse of this debris from a distance, but the rover's team hopes to get a closer look later in 2023.

Great way to do a video, panning around a single fascinating image. And a reminder that Curiosity is still doing important work over a decade later.
I'm starting every day with going through the latest on both the Curiosity and Perseverance raw images pages, and quite often it's a guessing game about the meaning behind of what I see (but once in a while I'm getting it right, as with those ripples). While these are what the commentator called Mt. Sharp's foothills it's amazing how high up Curiosity already is, and still there's clear signs of past water.
Sometimes there are images within the mounting raw image collection that should be seen by more people, the choice of images prepared for the wider masses is quite small.
This is, as ever, amazing. Keep it up. I ❤️ space exploration.
Wowza.......that resolution is incredible. Thank you all so much, JPL.
Red Dead Redemption 2 resolution is also quite decent.

Curiosity's been earning it's pay lately. Also recently found a metallic meteorite as well. Some people think these rovers are a waste of money. Over the past TEN YEARS this rover has supplied mankind with a tremendous amount of valuable data that we use to understand not only Mars, but Earth, too.

As a geologist this is amazing, wow!
Awesome stuff to see in the later parts of my life at living in my 83rd year.
It's quite something, isn't it. To think about us living in this time. Then again, what will the 83 yr olds be part of in a hundred years...
I wish i could still be drawing breath in a hundred years or more. Not happy i'll miss future mind boggling discoveries
Incredible. Thank you for making these videos.
Terrific!! Can't wait to see the future of Curiosity, thank you JPL!
It's killed by a cat.

@@TheRadioAteMyTVI thought it killed the cat

"Curiosity killed the cat." The radio ate your tv?? I thought it was the tv that ate your radio?? Funny!!
Good luck with your future exploration endeavours! :D
Looking forward to new discoveries!
Magnificent!! I am very curious to know about the past of Mars. Thanks for the video, JPL!!
Thanks for these discoveries.
amazing talk, which caught my curiosity.
Let Curiosity go so it can finish its work.
This is better than Perseverance study
Im born in the wrong era... Seeing this makes me happy and depressed at the same time. I probably wont even be here anymore when humans finally can live on different planets.. man...
But we will be alive for the time when we make the discoveries that lay the foundation for planetary colonization.
Humans are probably gonna land on mars by 2030, elon musk is already trying to land on mars in 2026
But men are from Mars and women are Venus? So you already made it.
Why would ANYONE want to live in a greenhouseon Mars? If you want to go outside you have to suit up.
Mars are a dead end street🤷🏼♂️
We need to evolve Big time on our own planet Earth - Where War is a job and Education ?
Industry - Sale - world economics - politics??? And the Call out War for peace?
Right planet But wrong life form🤷🏼♂️Here is main our problem 🌍
When time comes for the Way better world and life form - No need for another planet❤️💙
Greatest mission. Have been tracking it since the launch in 2011
cool clip
Excellent job, keep up the good work...I noticed some small triangles on the rock pointing at the other rock on the ground..like a print
At 1:07? Looked like artificial at first but zooming in it's just layers
Enchanting!!! We can not even imagine what people will know of our cosmos in 50 years time...
Let's hope things settle down on earth so there is someone left alive in 50 years first.
As long as people are deceived by NASA and LGBT teachings to kids in schools, I don’t believe things will settle down soon. What we will see is a Golden Age of truth.

Good point...
I was amazed to learn that the atmospheric pressure on Mars (~7mB) is about that for the tripple point of water. The temperature required (0.1C) will be attained regularly on the surface and almost certainly below the surface.
It's, Amazing 😍🤩💋💋

This makes me want to go build a Duna rover.
Go Curiosity go…
What is the time difference between the surface of the earth and the surface of Mars? How many earth seconds to Mars seconds at the atomic level? What radio frequency adjustments to match the two time passages.
awesome good work
Just seems a deposit layer from an early impact event to me. Why think of water? If a big impact has occured it could contain this hard material. the rippels could be caused by the energy which was released. 🤔
How do scientists differentiate ripple patterns in rocks as having been caused by water versus, say, by molten lava?
Or wind erosion caused by sand blasts..
Amazing
It feels surreal. Surely there must have been life at onetime? I feel as if it's unfathomable to know we cannot simply pitch a tent and go walkabout!!
Thank you for this
With no life found anywhere at all in the universe but earth and everyone who says anything about alien life called a whacko, the idea that "surely there must have been life at one time" seems incongruent, at best.
@@TheRadioAteMyTV sure. That's why it feels surreal.
@@inezgraer5482 I am not sure I understand your definition of surreal. I only know the art term for paintings, especially Dali.
The universe was not 'built' for life or life would be everywhere.
@@TheRadioAteMyTV The universe is too big and we are too small. It's like trying to catch a fish with your bare hands in the ocean with a blind fold on. Our technology and lifespan as a species would not even allow us to discover any other meaningful life, that's just how vast and old this universe is. To assume we are alone is narcissist but to assume life MUST be out there is also optimist.
I just personally feel like we are just a bunch of ants trying to piece it together, never will we ever live long enough or have the tech to do any big discoveries like finding intelligent life. The universe is just too big and too old.
Did you guys find some Domes???
What distinguishes "wave ripples" from ripples that are caused but air/sand?
Two things: their regularity over a wide area, like we see here. And, their shape is symmetrical, indicating that they were made by water moving back and forth, rather than a one-way flow in wind (or in a stream).
Water ripples form below the flat water surface so form a flatter profile. e.g. on earth salt lakes and associated salt flats can be quite large and very flat.
Wind ripples are often longer and exist on larger dune profiles which move and mound rather than form a flat profile. They aren't cemented.
Cementing of fine grain clay mud to form a hard surface indicates some fluid, likely water.
It is possible some esoteric dry chemical process could have caused cementing but that would not produce the flat profile. Fluid is more likely and that is likely water.
I always love how confident they tell you something was there 'billions of years ago'. So they come over as smart when they have no clue.
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Opted for the cheap drill bit for the rover?
Nice to see all this. But I think NASA will reach a lot more people once they finally switch to the international, uniform system of standard units (Metric). NASA is a scientific institute, and precisely because of the scientific content and international cooperation, I find it so strange that they still use the imperial system? I read that there are only three countries in the world that still use this old measurement system, which are Myanmar, Liberia and… the United States. And something in me says that the US is not eager to be part of that list ☺.
As a pro-metric American, let me assure you that we Americans don't care what units Myanmar and Liberia use or any other country for that matter. I don't think you realize how big the U.S. is. The U.S. should switch to metric because metric is easier and more efficient. Imperial is hideous. Imperial is inefficient and contributes to good American jobs being exported to foreign countries. We Americans care about jobs not about units used in Myanmar and Liberia.
@@DemPilafian Thank you for your response. No, I only used those two countries as a comparison that (except for them) the units of measurement all over the world are based on metric. Of course the US will not be guided by these two countries, the EU (including the UK) with more dan 515 million inhabitants will not either. I was more concerned that the US, as a high-quality, technologically driven country, still uses that old (outdated) measuring system at a time when we are increasingly collaborating scientifically, and especially the American (NASA) and European (ESA) space agencies… and always have to convert everything.
@@ArthurvanderStroom Fortunately pretty much all of science and even most of the high-value manufacturing in the U.S. is already metric. NASA is a good example... internally NASA is metric but they convert to imperial for public communications because NASA is fearful of angry taxpayers (it sounds weird, but it's true).
@ArthurvanderStroom..
I'm sure the U.S. has its reasons.. Sometimes, what may seem as "outdated" might give a far more accurate picture.. so to speak.
Are those not just meanders in sand dunes that hardened?
Or ... or... there is NO evidence of water at all' huh... yeah, I am thinking that.
What is the difference that the ripples are water ripples and not sand ripples like in the desert? Thank you.
That's a great question and I am no scientist but I think these ripples have formed in rock not sand?
Les ALIENS sont là ! Caches ? Ils doivent se dire ? Que viennent ils nous espionner ?
I don't see how this landscape can remain like this for billions of years. Wouldn't the Marian weather with its sandstorms have eroded most of these features away after billions of years?
Martian atmosphere is very thin, so while winds can be very fast they are very weak

We need some boots on the ground geologists .
0.57m huge golden nugget! I want.
Commentaire en français. SVP !
How much closer are we for finding traces or otherwise of life on Mars ?
Not sure but there's a high possibility for life in the ice caps of mars, but sadly no rover can go there yet because of fears that earth bacteria on the rovers will annihilate life in the ice caps
Sorry, but that's a pretty silly question. There is no precedent for this, it is all new ground. It is literally impossible to know "how much closer" we are to an objective when we don't even know if the objective exists.
@@AlbertaGeek Doesn't mean there isnt an answer, for example there is more likely life on the ice caps but rovers can't go there yet because they would need to be sterilized
With no life found anywhere in the universe except earth, the odds are not good.
Considering how much "life" is in a gestating human female, that many consider not life at all, the bigger question is what is life anyway?
Allegedly
Some big metroite hit mars billions years ago it lost its spin and atmosphere atmosphere.
Rocks sand and dust amazing
Isn,t it fantastic that we can plan an escape for our future children.I,m sad its not as beautiful as here or as well equipt ,but humans are the proven luxury creators ,and l have faith in using mining to fund a comfortable planet.
Because of editing your videos and the amount of animation videos I bet this could be a lion just blue screen like a movie or something seriously keep editing your photos and making video animations good job 😄👍
I seen a lot of these same wavy pictures before...why didn't they claim it's the water that form it before until now?
They're using this as well as the "spy balloon" thing as distractions away from Seymour Hersh's article on Nord Stream.
Wow
Curiosity and Perseverance are almost identical and both work, but you just about never hear anymore about anything Curiosity is doing these days... everything is overshadowed by Perseverance.
Ancient Roman road. Those buggers were everywhere.
Rome if you want to, Rome around the world(s).
@@TheRadioAteMyTV 😁
Does the road still lead to Rome even on Mars?
@@ImieNazwiskoOK On Mars, they go Remus.
@@ImieNazwiskoOK yes, they were persistent buggers... no coincidence that Mars , the red planet , matched the red of their uniforms. The Great Red Spot was ultimately their undoing though.

If you gonna find things that rock hard, then you need more metal! Call Rob Halford instead of Brian May.
So now we're moving on mars
There goes the neighborhood.
Nuclear war is what destroyed MARS
👍.
We came from Mars and moved to earth a very long time ago.

Looks like it is somewhere on Earth. It says that these planets are sisters
Mars is no sister, that a man, man. Try 30 miles east of Barstow, CA for an exact replica of the setting.
@@TheRadioAteMyTV looks the the place where they shot the scene in Diamonds Are Forever.
Nah this is ohio
2nd
So what? 🙄
Mars is 4th, 2nd is Venus.
Not true. All waves and layers can be explained by wind and volcano activity. Moreover, the high location of these layers, above the rim of the crater, proves that it could not be water.
We found the man smarter than people that made and sent the rover
@@ImieNazwiskoOK argumentum ad personam - not very clever - characteristic for people who doesn't have any knowledge, and and arguments
@@doppler999999 You are a random person calling a statement from large research center false.
Looking at the video and the satellite image they don't really appear that high.
Nobody tells you about the cats on Mars…. Curiosity kills them all on sight.
Ahh, nothing like a change in subject to distract people's minds from Seymour Hersh's article on "who" destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines!
