In February 2021, the Perseverance rover touched down on Mars in a location known as Jezero Crater \u2013 a 750-mile-wide (1,200 kilometers) ancient meteorite impact site. Today, the site sits as a hollow bowl of dry dirt and rock, but over 3.5 billion years ago, Jezero was once believed to be a large lake with an intricate network of rivers and waterways.<\/p>\n

It was no surprise that Jezero Crater was selected as the landing site for NASA\u2019s Perseverance Rover because of its potential to find evidence of ancient microbial life, if it ever existed on Mars.<\/p>\n

With the latest round of new images from Perseverance, NASA believes to have found what was once one of those rivers.<\/p>\n
