It was possible thanks to Rover Perseverance. It is a strange texture in a rocky structure in the Jezero crater, which is found in the northern hemisphere of the red planet.
He Rover Perseverancesent by the POT To explore the planet Marshe discovered in the crater Jezero A rock with an unusual texture that would be spider eggs.
According to the POT, The rock was baptized by the team as “St. Pauls Bay”its translation in Spanish is: Bay of San Pablo. This phenomenon seems to be composed of hundreds of Dark gray millimeter spheres. Some present most elongated elliptical formswhile others possess angular edges, with broken fragments. They even had others small holes.
What is Rover Perseverance
Perseveranceone of the more sophisticated robots sent to another planetas the main mission Search for signs of ancient microbial life and analyze the past habitability of Mars. It collects samples of Roca and Marciano Regolito, which could be transported to Earth in future missions for more detailed studies.
He Jezero crater, Where the rover operateshe was chosen as exploration site after an exhaustive analysis of more than 60 potential locations. This crater, 45 kilometers wide and located at the western end of the plain isidis plan, north of the Martian Ecuador, it is believed that an old river delta housed and was flooded in the past.
Other strange spheres in Mars
He Rover Perseverance It also detected in Mars textures similar to “Pochoclos” In sedimentary rocks exposed in the Jezero Crater entrance channel, called Neretva Vallis.

The spherules were interpreted as concretions that were formed by the Interaction with groundwater that circulates through the porous spaces of the rock. However, they can be formed on Earth by rapid cooling of molten rock drops created in a volcanic eruption, for example, or by the condensation of the steam rock.
