We agree that your first impression is the same as other people’s. It is clear that a object from a galaxy far, far away It’s not the most likely thing to be found on Mars, but it’s fun to dream sometimes. As the North American Space Agency states on its website, mystery object that’s a bit much for most people worldlyAlthough very relevant to the next NASA missions to Mars.
It looks like a lightsaber, but it’s part of the Mars Sample Return Mission.
and it’s that we’re the first sample tube what happened left on the surface martian by rover Perseverancewithin the Mars Return Sample Mission, which will be in charge of collecting these samples for return to Earth. small container it is made of titanium and it contains Martian rocks laid in in Sector Is known three forksWhere they will wait for future collection up to a total of 10 tubes.

now-a-days, There are 17 samples inside the Perseverance roverincluding what he called atmospheric sampling. vehicle of the future gotta go to mars sample collection why place them inside a box small rocket who will travel back mars orbitwhere will it be caught up by ship in charge return to our planet, on this occasion it first tube one is included magmatic rock sample nominated Malay, which was collected in the Jezero Crater area on January 31, 2022. It took about an hour to deposit the tube in its designated place.
Many people are saying that the Mars Sample Tube looks like a lightsaber. I’m raising my hand to my computer screen to see if this will be Taken from Mars, because as director @NASAJPL I’m pretty sure the force is with me (right?) No joy so far but I’ll keep trying! https://t.co/bi9cjU2FfA

Although, submission was not the last step to be followed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory team, because after this operation they had to Make surethrough the rover’s Watson camera, which the tube didn’t work And may be crushed by the wheels of perseverance. In addition, it was necessary to ensure that its condition was ideal for future collections. This will happen in the coming weeks as the rover continues to collect more samples in the Three Forks area. Someday, they will come to Earth to analyze.
