The Perseverance rover found an artificial object, like a spark plug, netizens: the Martian's car is broken

NASA's Perseverance rover, which has been landing on Mars for more than a year, has completed missions such as releasing Mars helicopters and collecting samples, but recently, a netizen found a strange thing from the photos it sent back - artificial objects, which immediately triggered a strong brain hole.

On the flatter gravel of Mars, an obvious, rather than suspected, man-made object appeared, a bit like a spark plug for a car, except that there was a circular hole in the middle, and one end was large and one was small.

The object lay alone in the Martian sunlight, surrounded by a desolate, out of place, and it was obvious that it was not there.

A netizen said that this must be a man-made object, perhaps an artifact left by the ancient civilization of Mars.

Some netizens said that there may be a UFO crashed on Mars, which may be its scattered parts.

Others say that this is the Martian car broken, repaired and discarded parts.

However, in the lower right corner of the photo, on the left and upper parts, sharp-eyed netizens found ruts, which means that the artificial object is on the way of perseverance.

Netizens immediately began not to calm down, so what, is it that the perseverance is in trouble, and the parts are shaken off? The problem is that the rover doesn't have a spark plug either.

Netizens immediately began to look at the previous photos of the Perseverance mission, you don't say, you really found one, which appeared a device suspected of this part.

This device is called a firing wear drill, which is also known as a protective sleeve for the drill bit, which seals the real drill bit and ensures that the sample drilled is not contaminated.

Before the real drill is activated, the protective drill is automatically unloaded by Perseverance and discarded on Mars, and this image shows how the protective drill was placed on the martian ground last July.

Wait, isn't this protective case upright when it's put down? How could it come down? Is the wind on Mars so big? Could it be that the Martians kicked it down?

Of course, it was not the Martians who kicked it down, but perseverance itself inadvertently "kicked" down.

Impossible, right? Some netizens said that it was placed there in July last year, how to shoot it later, is the perseverance going back again, too unscientific, what a waste.

Perseverance really went back, this is its driving route, it can be seen that after landing on Mars a year later, it basically followed the same road and returned to the starting point, a total of 4.38 kilometers. As for the reason, it is not known at present.

On the way back, Perseverance may have accidentally knocked over the protective drill and taken a picture.

I thought that God was unaware, but I didn't expect to be discovered by netizens, which attracted the attention of many people. Why did NASA let Perseverance return the same way? It's really weird, what do you think is the reason?
