30 Months On Mars: A Bright Object Is Following Us



A bright object seems to be following the rover and we may have found evidence of alien life in the form of lichen. My favourite episode so far!

Description:

In the episode “30 Months On Mars: 797 – 886 (17th May – 17th Aug 2023) – A Bright Object Is Following Us,” the Perseverance rover explores various locations on Mars while capturing high-definition imagery and attempting to gather rock samples. The rover sits on the edge of the Belva crater and examines its sediment and boulders. Attempts to collect drill samples initially prove unsuccessful due to the rocks’ crumbly nature. Finally, at a site called ‘Emerald Lake,’ the rover successfully retrieves a sample, naming it ‘Otis Peak.’ This sample could offer insights into Mars’ lost magnetic field. During the episode, Perseverance also loses contact with Earth for five days, which causes concern, although communication is later restored.

The episode also highlights the absence of the Ingenuity helicopter, with which the rover has lost contact. Intriguingly, a bright object, potentially a piece of spacecraft debris, seems to be “following” the rover. It could either be moving with the Martian wind or be a different piece of debris altogether. Throughout the episode, NASA’s team spots unusual rocks and features that provoke speculation and curiosity. Among these are rocks resembling faces and other forms, likely shaped by cavernous weathering. Additionally, some markings on rocks capture attention as they resemble Earth’s lichen, although it’s theorized that these are most likely byproducts of the rover’s abrasion operations. The episode concludes with yet another attempt to drill a rock, which also turns out to be too hard for the equipment.

  1. Mars 🤣🤣🤣 liebe USA Amerikaner , bitte steigt mal in eurer maroden Bahnhof die stinkt nach Urin mit Obdachlosen in New York ein und fahr mal Route nach Schanghai, dort steigt ihr aus, da ist außerirdisch 😁😁😁 die haben Schwebebahn, Hochgeschwindigkeit Schwebezüge die über 500kmh schwebt 😉😉😉 erlebt mal die Hightech 😉😉😉 in USA gibt es keine Fahrzeuge die über 150kmh fährt 😁😁😁ich wette, noch keiner USA Amerikaner erlebt die Geschwindigkeit über 150kmh Tee trinken 🤣🤣🤣

  2. I wish there was some way to tell scale on these shots. Without some reference like the rover itself we don't know if the rocks and such we're looking at are the size of a tennis ball or a Mack truck…

  3. It would be really interesting if they could figure out where different environments where on the surface cause for all we know we’ve only been checking the old oceans it would be interesting if we studied more the continents to see if we can find signs of forests. And if we use ground penetrating radar possibly find fossils. Only if mars existed long enough to allow fossils to form.

  4. We can't even go back to the moon but you want to believe we have a lander on Mars.
    Please ask NASA to turn the camera towards earth so we can get the first picture of Earth from "outer space".
    Mars is in Canada.
    Google it.

  5. The amount of people denying that any of this is real is… concerning.
    For the life of me, I cannot figure out why anyone would spend billions designing and developing a rover designed to gather incredibly precious data just to plop it down in Greenland and
    "fool the liberals" or whatever the argument is. What is the point? Have any of you ever even been to Devon Island?!? There are thousands of discrepancies that "canada" and "photoshop" just can't prove.
