NASA's Perseverance rover captures Mars sounds

NASA’s Perseverance rover has captured a mysterious high-pitched scratching noise on the surface of Mars.

The sounds were recorded as the rover drove along the Jezero Crater, an area that scientists believe was once flooded with water and home to an ancient river delta. “If I heard these sounds driving my car, I’d pull over and call for a tow,” said NASA engineer Dave Gruel.
