NASA rover spots ‘leopard rock’ on Mars, possible signs of ancient life

Описание: NASA scientists are studying intriguing ‘leopard spots’ on a rock sampled by the Perseverance rover on Mars, which may represent potential signs of ancient microscopic life. The rock, named Cheyava Falls in the Sapphire Canyon region of Neretva Vallis, was collected in July 2024. Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy described the findings as ‘incredibly exciting,’ noting that no alternative explanations have been found. Researchers also observed possible traces of hematite in calcium sulfate bands, suggesting Mars’ watery past.
