Mars pictures arrived on Earth approximately 11 minutes after y were taken because of delay in transmission of radio waves from planet of Mars to Earth.

NASA officials had called it '7 minutes of terror.'

Jezero Crater is a dry river delta full-on unstable pits, cliffs and large rocks. As reported by .com this crater was home to a large river where water flowed abundantly about 3-4 billion years ago.
