NASA has announced a shocking discovery that the Perseverance rover recently stumbled upon on Mars. This time it is not a beautiful rock formation or a specific biological sample. Unfortunately, that’s much worse.

The garbage has already appeared on Mars
In images provided to the space agency by a planetary rover, scientists noticed what appears to be a piece of aluminum foil stuck between the rocks. This sight surprised even the most experienced researchers.

Scientists are trying to find out where human garbage came from on the Red Planet. According to one hypothesis, it may be a piece of a thermal blanket that was attached to a special rocket backpack used during the landing of the rover on Mars.

This version, however, leaves many doubts. The Perseverance landing took place 2 km from the place where the foil was found. “Did this piece land here later or was it brought here by the wind?” – NASA specialists are wondering in the post shared on Facebook.

The “visiting card” of mankind
Internet users are terrified by the cosmic discovery. Admittedly, the fact that humanity is already polluting a planet it has not even set foot on is worrying. There were a lot of critical comments under the NASA post.
–
Perseverance – please clean up after yourself. I hope you can deal with the mess, wrote one of the people.
–
Pollution without being physically there: this is the next level – commented another internet user.
–
I think it won’t be long before we start seeing soda bottles, discarded junk food packaging, and plastic garbage on Mars. Maybe we need to send with a broom to start cleaning already, another person noted.
