迷宫就在脚下

This labyrinth – with a silhouette of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes at its center – is used as a calibration target for the cameras and laser that are part of SHERLOC (Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman & Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals), one of the instruments aboard NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover. The image was captured by the Autofocus and Context Imager on SHERLOC on May 11, 2024, as the rover team sought to confirm it had successfully addressed an issue with a stuck lens cover.

The Perseverance rover searches for signs of ancient microbial life, to advance NASA’s quest to explore the past habitability of Mars. The rover is collecting core samples of Martian rock and soil (broken rock and soil), for potential pickup by a future mission that would bring them to Earth for detailed study.

这个迷宫的中心是虚构的侦探夏洛克·福尔摩斯的剪影，它被用作SHERLOC（用拉曼和发光扫描有机物和化学物质的宜居环境）的照相机和激光的校准目标，SHERLOC是NASA毅力号火星探测器上的仪器之一。这张照片是由SHERLOC上的自动对焦和环境成像仪于2024年5月11日拍摄，当时火星车团队试图确认它已经成功解决了镜头盖卡住的问题。

毅力号火星车寻找古代微生物生命的迹象，以推进NASA探索火星过去的宜居性。火星车正在收集火星岩石和土壤（破碎的岩石和土壤）的核心样本，未来的任务可能会把它们带回地球进行详细研究。
