If global temperatures keep rising and reach 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, people worldwide could face multiple impacts of climate change simultaneously. This is according to a NASA-led study that analyzed the projected impacts of such warming to understand how different climate effects might combine. A 2-degree rise in global temperatures is considered

The rover has left behind the boulder field at "Fall River Pass" for now, and we're currently investigating an enigmatic sedimentary rock unit that was first spotted by Ingenuity during its 52nd flight several weeks ago. This is a great example of how Ingenuity's unique aerial perspective can help us scout out areas of interest ahead of the rover.
