NASA's Perseverance rover discovered a 245-foot-thick stack of ancient rock near Jezero Crater known as the Broom Point member, featuring repeating strata formed by sequential asteroid impacts. The striking vertical tilt of these layers points to a violent geological history shaped by multiple major cosmic strikes, including the formation of the distant Isidis Basin.
