NASA spots weird rock on Mars that should not exist, scientists stunned
NASA's Perseverance rover has discovered a peculiar boulder in Mars's Jezero Crater, baffling scientists with its unusual texture, color, and composition. This 'float rock,' unlike surrounding formations, suggests an origin far from its current location, possibly from an impact or ancient geological event. The find promises to unlock new insights into Mars's dynamic geological history and past environmental changes.
