Virtual tour of Mars

Paseo virtual de Marte

Mars. Jezero crater and delta / Marte. Cráter y delta Jezero

Hello, I invite you to a virtual tour of Mars thanks to the website developed by the Murray laboratory of the Caltech Institute in Pasadena, California [credits: The Murray Lab - Global CTX Mosaic of Mars (powered by Esri)], using the following link:

https://murray-lab.caltech.edu/CTX/V01/SceneView/MurrayLabCTXmosaic.html

All the places are interesting to visit, but it is worth mentioning Jezero (currently explored by the Perseverance probe), where you can see what could have been the bed and delta of the mouth of a river, as well as a possible lake formed by the crater visible almost in its center. Perseverance explores this area of Mars in search of signs of past or present life. More about the possibility of life on Mars in https://jijorquera.wixsite.com/onscienceandsociety/post/alien-life-iv-vida-en-otros-mundos-iv and related posts (Alien Life / Life on other worlds) from the web: https://jijorquera.wixsite.com/onscienceandsociety.

Todos los lugares son interesantes de visitar, pero cabe destacar Jezero (explorado actualmente por la sonda Perseverance), donde se observa lo que pudo ser el cauce y delta de desembocadura de un río, así como un posible lago formado por el cráter visible casi en su centro. Perseverance explora esta zona de Marte en busca de indicios de vida pasada o presente.
