Mars is much more arid than even the driest deserts on Earth. But that hasn’t always been the case. Rivers once flowed there, filling lakes and perhaps even a giant ocean. And the Perseverance rover is tooling along inside one of those ancient water features. It’s in a crater that once held a large lake, fed by a river that poured through the crater’s rim. Jezero Crater is about 30 miles wide. It formed when a giant asteroid slammed into Mars about four billion years ago. Perseverance has found evidence of long wet periods, with long dry periods between. The rover has revealed layers of sediments deposited by water over hundreds of millions of years. It’s also found minerals that formed in a watery environment. And it’s found big boulders that were carried by a massive river. The evidence shows that the first river flowed through Jezero a few hundred million years after the crater formed. Later, water filled the crater, forming a lake about 20 miles wide and maybe a hundred feet deep. And later still, a massive river punched through the crater’s rim. It deposited huge amounts of sediments, forming a large, thick delta. Eventually, though, the crater dried out – a dry remnant of a watery past. Look for Mars below the Moon as they climb into good view, after midnight. The planet looks like a bright orange star. The true stars Pollux and Castor – the twins of Gemini – line up to the left of the Moon. Script by Damond Benningfield

The landing sites of the two most recent American Mars rovers are about 2300 miles apart — roughly the distance from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. Yet the sites are a lot alike. Both are inside impact craters that formed at least three and a half billion years ago. And both craters once held lakes — potential homes for microscopic life. Curiosity landed in Gale Crater, in 2012. The crater is almost a hundred miles across, with a central mountain that’s three and a half miles high. Curiosity has found that water could have filled the crater several times in its early history. Some of the lakes could have lasted for millions of years. Eventually, though, Mars lost most of its atmosphere, and the water on its surface disappeared. Perseverance landed in Jezero Crater, in 2021. It’s a little less than 30 miles in diameter. But it, too, could have been filled up several times, with some of the lakes possibly hundreds of feet deep. At least one of the lakes formed when a massive flood ripped through the crater’s rim. It created a large river delta that Perseverance continues to explore. Neither rover has found evidence of life. But they’ve revealed that both craters could’ve had the right conditions for life — billions of years ago. Look for Mars well to the upper right of the Moon at dawn tomorrow. It looks like a bright orange star. More about Mars tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

The landing site of the Perseverance Mars rover could have been quite comfortable about three-and-a-half billion years ago. The rover discovered organic compounds — the chemical building blocks of life — in sediments in an ancient riverbed. The rock layers where the compounds were found suggest the environment would have been favorable for life. Jezero Crater is 28 miles across. And in the distant past, it was filled with water. Scientists had expected it to be paved with layers of sediment, which form as rocks and grit in the water settle to the bottom and cement together. Instead, the rover's instruments have found that most of the rock on the crater floor was formed by volcanic processes. Sedimentary rocks do form the river delta, which was deposited when Mars was warmer and wetter than it is today. Analysis of rocks at a formation named Wildcat Ridge revealed the organic compounds. Perseverance will spend many months examining the delta. And it's storing samples of the sediments for return to Earth, where scientists can check more thoroughly for evidence of ancient life. Mars is a stunner right now. It's passing especially close to Earth, so it outshines everything that's currently in the night sky except the Moon and the planet Jupiter. It looks like a brilliant orange star. It's low in the east-northeast as the sky gets fully dark, and climbs high across the sky later on. More about Mars tomorrow.
