The striking appearance of the rock on Mars, which stands out for its stability and lack of incidents, provoked much speculation. An American scientist, Rhawn Joseph, he even sue NASA for failing to investigate the existence of “possible extraterrestrial life” on Mars

In early January, NASA specialists saw the photos you took the Martian rover Opportunity rock about 4 inches in size shaped “donut”. Just four days earlier in the same place there was no evidence of such rock, and all those days the robot had been immobilized.Since the beginning

NASA astronomers counted with two versions. The first, which was the more likely, was that the Opportunity hit the rock while it was moving, and it stalled in one of its mechanisms. The second version, less likely, said the rock could land near the Opportunity after a meteoric event.

Now NASA finally announced the results of its investigation and said that his original version was correct. Experts made the Martian robot move, and took a photo of their tracks spanning a larger rock, the same appearance as the first.

assert that found in the rock after the photo was moved by one of the wheels of Opportunity itself. However, it is still extraordinary chemical composition of the rock, unusual for the red planet.

The surprising emergence of rock on Mars, which stands out for its stability and lack of incidents, provoked much speculation. An American scientist, Rhawn Joseph, he even sue NASA for failing to investigate the existence of “possible extraterrestrial life” on Mars.
