KOMPAS.com- Rubbish Humans are not only a problem on Planet Earth, but have also polluted the surface Planet Mars.
Human trash which has polluted the surface of the Planet Mars was caught on camera Perseverance Mars Rover of NASA.
For your information, perseverance is a Mars rover created by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for use in the Mars 2020 mission.
The main mission of NASA’s Perseverance rover is to hunt for signs of early microbial life near the landing site of Jezero Crater, an ancient river delta on Mars. This mission has been landing since last year.
News about rubbish The human they found had actually been uploaded to a Twitter account.

The team found human trash on Mars it is a glossy foil layer, and is thought to be part of a thermal blanket, a material used to control temperature.
“My team had seen something unexpected: This was part of the thermal blanket they thought might have come from my descent, the rocket-powered jet pack that brought me down on landing day in 2021,” he was quoted as saying. Kompas.com from the official account of NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover, (16/6/2022).
“Surprising to find this (human waste) here (Planet Mars),” the team wrote.
Location of discovery human trash on Mars it is known that it is not too far from the drop location for the rover robot that has been sent by the team.
The distance from the location where the human waste was found to the drop location for the Mars rover robot is about 2 km further.

“Did this piece land here after that (the robot’s descent), or was it blown here?” they asked.
Reported from Science AlertFriday (17/6/2022), the discovery of pieces of objects suspected of being trash from humans on this planet is not the first time.
Apparently, this human waste on Mars, had been found in April.
“Perseverance has the best-documented Mars landing in history, with cameras showing everything from parachute inflating to landing,” said Ian Clark, former Perseverance systems engineer.
Ian Clark is currently leading the effort to transport Martian samples back to Earth at JPL in Southern California.
He hopes that the samples obtained from Mars will be collected in an engineering informatics data set, which is then studied and planned to be returned to Mars.
However, if it can’t be done like that, Clark said that the photo capture of human waste on Mars is still phenomenal and inspiring.

Before news of this latest photo of the thermal blanket trash for temperature gauges was found, there was also the Ingenuity Helicopter, which caught a glimpse of the man-made space junk, namely the landing gear that helped it, and the Perseverance rover, heading to Mars.
Objects left behind in space
The mission fragments include objects left in space such as boots, shovels, and all vehicles left behind by the Apollo missions on the Moon.
The objects left behind can contaminate pristine planetary objects.
As Earth’s orbit becomes denser with satellites and space junk, leaving Earth to explore space becomes even more dangerous.
Plus everything space junk orbiting the Earth, including dead satellites, burnt boosters, screwdrivers, parachutes, and other food debris can also be hazardous to the International Space Station (ISS).
However, there are few restrictions that protect space from pollution. Current space law has not changed much since the Outer Space Treaty, which was agreed in 1967 and is not very detailed.
