One of the NASA’s Mars
Exploration Rovers, Opportunity, reached the Red Planet on 24 January 2004.

NASA's Opportunity Mars
Exploration Rover search for and characterize a variety of rocks and soils that
hold clues to past water activity.
Jlly doughnut rock
discovered by NASA Mars rover was revealed on 21 January 2014 on the tenth
anniversary of the Mars rover’s landing on the planet.
The researchers named the
rock as Pinnacle Island, which is high in composition of three elements sulfur,
magnesium and manganese. Researchers said that the rock was the one of the
oddest things on Mars that space experts had ever come across on Mars.
The rock is examined and
it can be seen as a whitish colour on the outer surface while bearing reddish
colour toward its center and looks like sweet desert.
