The Last American Mars Rover named Curiosity continues active research on Mars, during which reveals a lot of interesting things. Photos from open sources Cameras mounted on the rover “Curiosities” did not rest even during the New Year holidays. They are photographed close-up rocky landscapes in martian Yellowknife Bay area, as well as a Martian flower making its way to the surface. Collecting photographs taken by the rover, scientists made two interesting mosaic photos. We can watch these photos in slightly distorted colors so as to understand how these Martian landscapes would look on Earth.
A photo from open sources Photo No. 2 shows a bright crushed rover an object that resembles a pistil of a flower making its way through the ground. This photo was taken with a tool. MAHLI. Scientists have called this object the “Martian Flower.” TO Unfortunately, this is not a real flower. There is no organic matter. Rather total, this is a piece of plastic crushed by the rover, falling off from himself. We remember that a large hype when this object was only discovered, but then it was still whole. Now, the rover, apparently accidentally crushed him. Although on in fact, scientists cannot say with accuracy 100% what kind of object – a piece of plastic, a fragment of a spacecraft or fragment of rock of incomprehensible structure. But scientists keep pushing various hypotheses about the mysterious now Martian Flower. 400 people provide the work of the rover from the Earth – 250 scientists and approximately 160 engineers. All of them are trying to solve this riddle.
