These three billion-year-old sedimentary rocks, like those in Earth&#8217;s geologic record, could prove valuable targets for future exploration of past climates and tectonics on Mars.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-12-fluvial-mars.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Fluvial mapping of Mars<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took fifteen years of imaging and nearly three years of stitching the pieces together to create the largest image ever made, the 8-trillion-pixel mosaic of Mars&#8217; surface.
