- NASA’s Perseverance rover found evidence that Mars had at least 3 periods of water activity, not just one wet phase.
- Rocks in Jezero Crater show clues of groundwater, ancient lake water and heated water interacting with them over time.
- Perseverance analysed more than 185 rock targets in the Margin Unit using its SuperCam instrument to trace Mars’ watery past.
