Directions (21-30): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it.
C
Billions of years ago, the view from the edge of Jezero crater would have been
“spectacular.” Millions of miles away, on the surface of Mars, inside an enormous
crater, a little NASA rover is taking some pictures. The view is quite stunning
there—miles of undisturbed cinnamon terrain scattered with pebbles and boulders,
with silky dunes where the craggy bedrock doesn’t peek through. But when the
rover, named Perseverance, sent the photos back home from the crater, known
as Jezero, scientists saw something more. The arrangement of the sediment? It
resembled a certain familiar landscape on Earth. Those boulders? A strong current
had carried them in. Jezero, scientists could now see, wasn’t always dry and
desolate. It was once a lake. The Perseverance rover was roaming what used to
be a delta, where a small river met calm waters. A few billion years ago, the
ground beneath its tires might have been sloshing with water. On Earth, when a
river pours into a lake, it carries grains of silt with it. Over time, that sediment
builds up in layers that fan out from a narrow point where the running water
meets the still. Observations from previous spacecraft missions, orbiting Mars
from above, had shown something similar on the red planet’s surface, so scientists

3
Sreedhar’s CCE SB I PO-22 / I B PSPO-X I -71 PRELI MS

already suspected that Jezero crater, formed after a meteor impact, had been
filled in with water. But they couldn’t be sure until Perseverance was there,
snapping pictures like a mesmerized tourist. Here was history, the ancient ruins
of Mars. The rover had looked out across the quiet terrain and observed not a
barren wasteland, but a lost oasis. The close-up photographs helped scientists
conclude that the sediment—based on the thickness of its layers, and the way
they slope—was indeed likely shaped by flowing water, not smoothed by wind or
other geological processes. The researchers can even identify past weather events
as transient as flash flooding: The boulders strewn across the lake bed, some
estimated to weigh several tons, are embedded in the top layers of sediment,
which suggests that they originated outside the crater. They must have been
carried on waters which are strong enough to dislodge them and then take them

r’s
downstream. But the environment wasn’t always so chaotic. Beneath these
boulders lie layers of fine sediment, which suggests that, before the bombardment,
a gentle river fed the basin. About 3.7 billion years ago, Mars was surreally
Earthlike—warm, with a thick atmosphere. What would Jezero have looked like
then? For that, I asked Briony Horgan, a planetary-science professor at Purdue
University and a Perseverance scientist who led the selection of Jezero crater as
ha
the mission’s destination. Horgan has daydreamed about what it might be like to
stand near Jezeros’s river delta and gaze out at the lake. The basin would be
surrounded on all sides by dark mountains—the crater rim. The rock would slope
down toward the water, gradually giving way to sandy white beaches. In moments

E
without flooding, the water would be calm, gently lapping at the shore. Maybe a
slight breeze would kick up some waves. The sky, protected by an atmosphere
d
that has since been stripped away, would be a marvelous blue. “It would have
been really spectacular,” Horgan said. Somewhere along the way, the climate on
Mars shifted drastically, and the planet transformed into the freezing, dusty
world we see today. The sound of lapping waves has been replaced by the whirring
ee

noise of rovers. Scientists don’t know yet exactly what happened. But the
researchers working on the Perseverance mission hope to find some answers
inside that crater. An ancient lake bed is a fantastic place to look for evidence of
fossilized microbes, and the Perseverance rover will spend its time on Mars
C
collecting rock samples into tubes and storing them away so that future spacecraft
missions, years from now, can bring them home to Earth. Someday, like other
Sr

rovers before it, Perseverance will itself become part of the scenery, as motionless
as one of the boulders along the dried-up delta, sitting beneath the Martian
clouds. Oh yes, Mars still has clouds—beautiful, wispy clouds made of ice. Billions
of years from now, Earth’s own lakes and seas will vanish, boiled away by a sun
growing hotter in its old age. Will any clouds stick around, casting shadows over
our own desolate ruins?
