Ochwepheshe be-US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) banentuthuko entsha ekuhloleni i-Mars - i-rover ibhoboze imbobo enhlabathini yobumba yase-Gale Crater.
"Ungavumeli iphupho lakho libe yiphupho," ithimba lososayensi abasebenzisa i-rover libhale kuTwitter. “Ekugcineni ngizithole ngingaphansi kwalezi bumba.” Ucwaningo lwesayensi lusengaphambili."
"Lesi yisikhathi umkhankaso osusilindile kusukela kuqokwe iGale Crater njengendawo yokuhlala," kusho ilungu lethimba leCuriosity uScott Guzewich.
Umgomo we-rover, ukubhoboza imbobo enhlabathini kuze kube yidwala endaweni abahlanganyeli bemishini ebizwa ngokuthi i-Aberlady, isifezekile. Okulandelayo, ithimba le-Curiosity lizofunda ukwakheka kwesampula ye-rock ewumphumela, lifuna ukufunda okwengeziwe ngalesi sifunda se-Mars.
Ngenkathi imemezela ngo-2011 ukuthi i-Curiosity izothunyelwa ukuhlola i-Gale Crater, i-ejensi yasemkhathini yagqamisa ukuthi kungenzeka ukuba khona kwamanzi esifundeni ezikhathini zasendulo, nokuthi lokhu kungase kube nomthelela kanjani ekusesheni kwezimpawu zenhlanganisela yezinto eziphilayo.
"Amanye amaminerali, kuhlanganise nalawo iCuriosity engawathola ezingqimbeni ezinobumba kanye ne-sulfate ecebile phansi kwe-central peak ye-Gale Crater, zikwazi ukugcina ama-organic compounds futhi azivikele ekufakweni kwe-oxidation," kusho i-NASA ngaleso sikhathi. Manje ochwepheshe bale nhlangano banethuba lokwazi kangcono lezi zinhlobo.
