While a photograph shared on social media appeared to show 'otherworldly wreckage' on Mars, the reality is that it actually depicts NASA's aeroshell, a heat-shielded protective shell initially launched from Earth, not debris from another world. The photo, taken by NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, shows Perseverance's backshell in Mars' Jezero Crater. Scientists use aeroshells to help rovers land safely on Mars, with the backshell supporting the parachute and other landing mechanisms. To ensure accuracy, it's crucial to fact-check sensational claims surrounding images of Mars.
