NASA’s Opportunity Mars rover found some rather peculiar rocks and minerals as it neared the end of its marathon study of the surface of the planet.
The rocks were found on a hill overlooking a site called “Marathon Valley,” named as such because Opportunity will have traveled 26.2 miles on Mars by the time it gets there.
