NASA’s Curiosity Rover Spots Ancient Coral-Like Rock on Mars
On July 24, 2025, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured an image of a small, coral-shaped rock in Gale Crater using its ChemCam Remote Micro Imager. The light-colored, 1-inch (2.5 cm) formation likely formed billions of years ago when mineral-rich water seeped into tiny fractures in the rock, leaving behind hardened mineral veins after evaporation. Over time, relentless Martian winds sandblasted the surrounding material, revealing the rock’s intr…
The Martian landscapes sometimes reserve visions that seem to come from another world, while evoking strangely those we know on Earth. At the turn of his explorations in the Gale crater, the Curiosity rover captured the image of a formation with marine appearances, carved by geological processes several billion years old. This intriguing structure, similar to a coral on Mars, raises new questions about the history of the water and the conditions…
