NASA rover spots bizarre donut shaped rock on Mars

Earlier this year, astronomers discovered a strange structure on Mars resembling a bear’s face

Newsroom June 28 09:52

NASA’s Perseverance rover has spotted a strange donut-shaped rock on Mars, which is likely a meteorite that crashed onto the Red Planet.

The bizarre big, dark stone, which has a hole in its center, was found surrounded by stones of similar hue by the rover’s remote-sensing camera.

“NASA Perseverance took a picture using the SuperCam Remote Micro-Imager on 23 June 2023 of a donut-shaped rock off in the distance, which could be a large meteorite alongside smaller pieces,” the California-based SETI institute tweeted on Monday.
