Rover

• Smucker Company, PetSmart, Petco, A Place for Rover, Chewy, and Ancol Pet Products, dominating extensive product ranges and global reach.
• At the same time, traditional retail outlets remain crucial for immediate access and expert advice on pet care.
• North America is the largest global pet care industry market, driven by high pet ownership rates and significant spending on pet care products and services.
• The global pet care market is witnessing a significant uptick in mobile pet grooming services and participation in grooming expos.

• Data from India’s recent Chandrayaan-3 mission supports the idea that an ocean of molten rock once covered the Moon.
• The location where Vikram touched down was further south than any other landing craft had previously been on the Moon.
• The cooling and crystallisation of this magma ocean eventually led to the ferroan anorthosite rocks that make up the Moon’s crust.

Orbital measurements

• “Ground-truth” measurements such as these are crucial for interpreting observations made by orbiting spacecraft.
• The consistency between these earlier spacecraft measurements and those made by the Pragyan rover gives new confidence to the orbital datasets.
• The orbital data suggests the lunar surface in this region is uniform in its chemical composition over an area of several kilometres.
• So, the Pragyan rover measurements help us build a picture of what different regions of the Moon look like, and how our meteorite samples compare.

• Arguably, that objective has now been achieved: potential evidence for past life has been found.
• Since landing in Jezero crater a few years ago, Perseverance has traversed a series of rocks formed nearly four billion years before present.
• There were thousands of rivers and lakes, a thick atmosphere, and comfortable temperatures and chemical conditions for life.
• Many of the rocks in Jezero are sedimentary: mud, silt and sand dumped by a river flowing into a lake.
• Examples include the proteins, fats, sugars, and nucleic acids from which all life as we know it is constructed.
• Organic matter is common in rocks on Earth, most of it derived from the remains of ancient organisms.
• Until that happens, we cannot be sure whether Perseverance has really found fossils of ancient life on Mars.
