NASA shared several photos in the recent expedition of the Perseverance Rover, and it is one astounding look at Mars and the many rock formations on the planet. There was a space rock that balanced itself on top of another rock, and the physics of it did not add up for the scientist that had already looked into it.

One of the images shows one unexplainable thing, which is how it managed to stay that way despite nothing holding it as is, and there are no reasons for it to stay that way.

NASA: Perseverance Shows a Rock in Mars, Astounds Scientists

According to a tweet by NASA's Perseverance account, the Mars rover in the Jezero Crater region discovered something new, which astounds the scientists who saw it. It is a rock that balances itself on top of a large rock, and it is like some of the rock formations on the planet where it is there resting in place and remains untouched.

Scientists and astronomers debate how it balances itself on top of the rock, as there are already theories and hypotheses that aim to explain what is happening on the image. The rover is still near the area, and its map logs explain the location of the space rock should researchers wish to see more of it and return to its place.

According to the thread, NASA and the Perseverance team thinks it has "tons of potential" for research regarding its stature, especially with the many recent findings on the mission. In future ventures, the researchers think other rock formations would significantly help its further knowledge of the planet.

NASA Perseverance and its Discoveries

The Perseverance Rover has been on Mars for more than a year now, and it brings the public a lot to see and discover, especially with what it showcases to the public daily. It brings more information now that it got to places that were uncovered back then, especially in a new region where it explores the Jezero Crater.

Apart from rocks and tangible objects on the planet, the Perseverance brings much information about the things surrounding Mars, especially what a solar eclipse would look like on the planet. The Sun is the same, but Mars is in a different region and is farther away from the star, as well as it has two moons that it attracts to its gravity, something contrasting from the Earth.

The Perseverance rover receives help from the Ingenuity space helicopter, and the duo features a combo that gives the public more to see and discover from Mars. However, the main spacecraft that roams around Mars and focuses more on the ground is Perseverance, a rover that brings many discoveries, including something that gives astronomers a lot.
