NASA's Perseverance rover has captured a spectacular image of an area near its landing site that scientists believe was the location where an ancient Martian lake and river once joined.

The rover's landing site, which NASA has named after the late science fiction author Octavia E. Butler, lies in the 28-mile-wide Jezero Crater, which researchers think was home to a river delta billions of years ago—making it a promising spot to search for signs of ancient microbial life.
