An animation depicting what Neretva Vallis on Mars might have looked like billions of years ago: a flowing river flanked by sandy, rocky hills under the Sun.
This animation transitions through time, depicting the water disappearing in the Martian river valley Neretva Vallis until it reaches the present day, when the valley is entirely dry. The view pans to reveal NASA's Perseverance Mars rover with its robotic arm extended and about to sample the “Sapphire Canyon” sample cored from the rock “Cheyava Falls,” which was found in the “Bright Angel” formation, a set of rocky outcrops on the northern and southern edges of Neretva Vallis.
