"Perseverance Rover's Surprising Find: Donut-Shaped Rock on Mars"

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover captured an image of a large, circular rock with a hole in the middle on the planet's surface, which the SETI Institute referred to as a "donut-shaped rock." It is speculated that the rock may be a large meteorite alongside smaller pieces that originated elsewhere before landing on Mars. The rover's primary goal is to collect samples and search for signs of ancient life on the planet.

NASA's Curiosity rover discovers bone-like structure on Mars

NASA's Curiosity rover has captured an image of a strange rock formation on Mars that has been dubbed the 'most bizarre' by an expert. The images show spikes protruding from a rock lying at the base of the Gale Crater. Some have compared the structure to a fish bone or branch of a fir tree, and said it would be 'difficult for it to be a natural rock formation' here on Earth. Curiosity has been exploring the Gale Crater since August 2012 as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission.
