Recently, NASA made a rather shocking discovery. It is a rock formation shaped like a skull on the surface of Mars.
The mysterious elevation was named “Skull Hill” and was discovered earlier this month by the Perseverance rover as it traveled across Witch Hazel Hill, a ridge that is part of the Jezero crater basin.
While other similar mysteries involving rocks on the surface of Mars had more obvious explanations, what puzzled scientists is that there is no other rock formation like it in the region.
Compared to the rest of the terrain, which resembles more of a sandy desert, Skull Hill is darker in color and features several small holes.
Experts suggest that it is more likely that the rock originated elsewhere and was transported to the sandy region through erosion or impact. Either way, the strange rock remains a mystery.
