Pfupisa nyaya yacho:  Curiosity Rover yakawana mitsinga inoshamisa, ine mavara akawanda paMars iyo inogona kupa vazivi venyeredzi nzwisiso itsva munguva yakapfuura ine mvura yepasi dzvuku. Mitsinga yemaminerari yakawanwa panzvimbo inonzi 'Garden City' pamakomo eMount Sharp uye inomira kubva padombo kusvika ku6cm (2.5 inches). Masayendisiti anodavira kuti gadziriro inoshamisa yamakomo yakaumbwa mumakore akapfuura akanyorova eMars mabhiriyoni amakore akapfuura pamusoro pebwe rapasi rakakanganiswa zvino, rakapfava zvikuru. Uyu mufananidzo waMarch 18, unoratidzwa neKamera iri paMast paCuriosity rover unoratidza mitsetse yemaminerari ane mavara maviri. Masayendisiti anodavira kuti chisikwa chinoshamisa ichi chakaumbwa muMars makore mabhiriyoni akapfuura pamusoro peibwe rava kuderedzwa. Makomo acho ane zvinhu zvakajeka uye zvasviba. Nepo Curiosity yakawana mitsinga ine mavara akajeka kare, yakasviba iripo yakavhiringidza masayendisiti. 'Dzimwe dzacho dzinoratidzika semasangweji eaizi-kirimu: dzakasviba pamativi ose uye chena pakati,' akadaro Linda Kah, mumwe mutezo weboka resayenzi reCuriosity paUniversity of Tennessee, Knoxville. 'Zvinhu izvi zvinotiudza nezvemvura yechipiri iyo yakaendeswa nomunharaunda yacho pashure pokunge dombo raivapo raumbwa.' Mitsinga yakaita seiyi inoumbwa apo mvura inofamba nomumatombo akapwanyika uye inosiya zvicherwa mumatsemuka, kazhinji kazhinji ichikanganisa makemikoro edombo rinopoteredza matsemuka. Uyu mufananidzo unobva muMars Hand Lens Imager uri paruoko rweCuriosity rover mufananidzo wepedyo wemvura ine mavara maviri iri panzvimbo inonzi 'Garden City' iri pasi peGomo reSharp. Yakatorwa usiku, ichivhenekerwa neLEDs. Kah akati, 'Zvinenge kuti mvura mbiri dzechipiri dzakasiya uchapupu pano. 'Tinoda kunzwisisa makemikoro emvura dzakasiyana-siyana dzaiva pano uye kutevedzana kwezviitiko. Mvura yakazotevera yakachinja sei dombo racho?' Zvimwe zvezvakaitika zvinozivikanwa: Dope rakaumba matombo edhaka ari pasi penyanza rinofanira kunge rakaoma uye rakaoma pamberi pokuputsika kwacho. Zvinhu zvakasviba zvinopoteredza madziro ezvikanganiso zvinoratidza kuti mvura yakanga yatanga kuyerera kare kupfuura zvinoitwa nemitsinga yakachena ine calcium-sulphate yakawanda - kunyange zvazvo kuyerera kwacho kwakaitika pashure pokunge makatsemuka acho aumbwa. Pamwe chete, chii zvino chiri...
Mitsinga yemaminerari yakawanwa panzvimbo inonzi'Garden City'paGomo reSharp. Akaumbwa munguva yakapfuura ine mvura yeMars pamusoro peibwe rakatetepa rava kuderedzwa zvino. Zvicherwa zvine mavara maviri zvakasikwa kubva munhambo mbiri dzakanyorova paPuraneti tsvuku.
