NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover Spots a Rock from the Stars
SMRTR summary
NASA's Perseverance rover discovered an unusual 31-inch boulder called Phippsaksla in Mars' Jezero Crater that stands out dramatically from the surrounding flat, weathered bedrock. Analysis using the rover's SuperCam laser revealed the rock contains high levels of iron and nickel, suggesting it's likely a meteorite from an asteroid that crashed into Mars. This would mark Perseverance's first iron-nickel meteorite discovery after five years of exploration.
