The distribution of some minerals in the Jezero crater on Mars

Summary edit

Description
English: Color has been added to highlight minerals in this image of Jezero Crater on Mars, the landing site for NASA's Mars 2020 mission. The green color represents minerals called carbonates, which are especially good at preserving fossilized life on Earth. Red represents olivine sand eroding out of carbonate-containing rocks.

The distribution of some minerals in the Jezero crater on Mars.

Note: Pronunciation of Jezero is [ˈjɛzəroʊ] (like in 'yes'), not [ˈdʒɛzəroʊ] — https://www.space.com/how-to-pronounce-jezero-crater.html]

The image was created using data taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and its Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) and Context Camera (CTX).

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, led the work to build the CRISM instrument and operates CRISM in coordination with an international team of researchers from universities, government and the private sector. Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego built and operates CTX. Credit
