Mars Hidden History: By NASA'S Curiosity Rover Uncover Clues At Rocky Road

 Nasa 's curiosity rower is still in martian surface and currently exploring the planet.it has reached a fascinating rock formation dubbed "Rocky road" or "convict lake"

It is 'Rocky road' or 'convict lake'.This image capture by curiosity rover on Mars surface using its MAHLI instrument.on June 4 2024

Because of its unique apperance.rovers primary aim is to analyse the rock using its advanced instruments to gain knowledge about martian surface

Tests and analysis done by rover:

APXS analysis 

The alpha particle x-ray spectrometer(APXS) is used to examine the chemical composition.The team of curiosity rover tried to position the APXS as possible as near to rock to collect data of its elemental makeup.The goal is to target the areas with a 'marshmallow' ratio,which indicates specific  balance of elements

ChemCam investigation 

The chemical and camera (chemcam) instrument also used to study the rock.the laser in the instrument vaporize a small portion of rock and analysis the resulting plasma to determine its chemical composition.Camera in the instrument capture high resolution images of rock

MAHLI

The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) will capture day and night time images of rock,which providing a valuable information about its texture and structure

Other observations

Other instruments in the rover will image geological structure around the rock,providing a understanding of regions geology

The analysis of Rocky road may reveal valuable view into the Mars history.in includes the information about past water activity, geological process,habitability possibility.The information collected by the curiosity rover help for scientists to understand the red planet and it's evolution
