Mars Guy - Episode 163 Mars has some of the biggest landslides in the Solar System, like the ones inside Valles Marineris. But not all mass movements are so massive. This week, Perseverance unintentionally generated what may be one of the smallest ones.
Perseverance Mars rover used its abrasion tool to grind down the rock surface at this target on May 16, 2024, the 1151st Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The abraded patch is 2 inches (5 centimeters) in diameter. The rover abrades rocks using a tool on its robotic arm to clear away dust and weathering rinds, allowing other...
Mars Days, but a Mars day is a little longer than Earth days. It’s about 40 minutes longer.
So today in Gale crater it is currently Sol 4182… That’s 4297 earth days since the rover landed on August 6, 2012. Or 11 years, 9 months, 6 days including the landing date :)
Used to get a lot more views / upvotes on Reddit, but I left Reddit for greener pastures. I’ll keep posting here as long as I’m breathing, even if there’s no upvotes :)
