NASA's Perseverance rover discovers 'odd' rock, scientists now investigate

National Aeronautics and ministration (NASA) Perseverance rover recently spotted a peculiar holey rock that bears a resemblance to meteorites, said US ncy on April 1. Perseverance team tweeted on Thursday that scientists have t yet determined exactly what rock is as of w but called it an “odd one”. rock is nearly 6 inches long and told its followers, probably interested in kwing more about Mars to locate a “row of laser” where robotic explorer zapped it.

NASA’s Perseverance rover is equipped with a rock-zapping laser designed to help robot collect data on Mars geology. United States ncy also released laser in action as heard by a microphone. While sharing audio earlier this month, NASA wrote, “Variations in intensity of zapping sounds will provide information on physical structure of targets, such as its relative hardness or presence of wearing coatings.” 

Among some of speculations about rock recently discovered, scientists believe it might be a weared piece of bedrock, a little chunk of Mars among or possibilities. historic Perseverance rover that landed on Mars on February 18, 2021, is currently studying a region of Mars called Jezero Crater and robotic explorer is set to provide answers to several questions about Red Planet while also searching for signs of past microbial life.

Since previous rovers on Mars have collected evidence of water along with chemical building blocks of life, Perseverance will provide more in-depth kwledge as scientists “think it might be possible that life existed on Mars a long time ago”.

Ancient Crater Lake Discovered On Mars

An ancient crater lake in sourn highlands of Mars appears to have been created due to glacier ruff, claimed researchers on March 30 indicating that Martian Planet could have a cold and icy past. Researchers at Brown University said in a statement that y have discovered a never-kwn-before of ancient crater lake on Red planet that could give scientists insight into mysterious past of planet and its early climate. latest study on Mars’ ancient crater has been published in Planetary Science Journal and is led by Brown University’s Ph.D. student Ben Boatwright.
