NASA rover spots hundreds of 'spider eggs' on Mars — and scientists have no idea how they got there

Mars rovers make seperate finds pointing to past life: What Perseverance, Curiosity found

Two NASA rovers on Mars recently made two independent discoveries further indicating that ancient life may have once existed on the Red Planet.

The NASA Rover "Perseverance" has made a fascinating discovery on Mars: a stone covered by hundreds of mm-sized balls. However, the research team presents a great mystery: it is now intended to investigate how these strange structures were created. Two weeks ago, "Perseverance" reached a region called "Broom Point" on the edge of the Jezero crater, where visible light and dark rock layers should be explored from orbit. When investigating a brigh…

Scientists Puzzled by Mars Rock Covered in Egg-Like Spheres

Who said there's an egg crisis? NASA's Perseverance Rover has stumbled across an extremely strange rock that's "astonished" scientists while exploring the rim of the Jezero crater on Mars. Nicknamed "St. Pauls Bay," the rock is made up of hundreds of densely packed, millimeter-sized dark spheres — not unlike an insect's slimy egg cluster.  These "spherules," as they're known, are somewhat heterogeneous. As seen in a closeup taken with Perseveran…

NASA rover spots hundreds of 'spider eggs' on Mars — and scientists have no idea how they got there

On March 11, NASA's Perseverance Mars rover spotted a mysterious rock made of hundreds of tiny spheres that resemble spider eggs. Studying its formation could help us look for fossilized remains of microbial life on Mars.

Massive Martian ice deposit could flood entire planet under 9 feet of water

Mars may look like a dry and dusty world, but just beneath its surface lies one of the most surprising discoveries in planetary science. Stretching for hundreds of miles along the planet’s equator is the Medusae Fossae Formation, or MFF—a mysterious landscape of wind-shaped ridges and soft, eroded hills. While it may seem like another dusty region of Mars, fresh data from a deep-penetrating radar system tells a very different story. This giant d…

The Mars Rover Perseverance has found an unusual stone that has amazed Nasa researchers: inside. Reason: The stone consists of hundreds of mm-sized beads. This raises several questions.read more on t3n.de
