Mars Guy - Episode 210 - In a recently published scientific paper about these white rocks, the Perseverance team positively identified for the first time a surprisingly rare mineral on Mars. It’s surprising because on Earth you probably wouldn’t give it a second look.

An Unusual Hole in #Mars

Numerous holes dot Mars' Swiss cheese-like terrain, but one unusual 100m-wide hole seems to lead to a lower level. Possibly formed by a #meteor impact, such openings may offer access to underground caves, potentially harboring Martian life and becoming prime exploration targets for future missions.
