Read our privacy policy Nasa’s Perseverance rover has spotted a strange donut-shaped rock on Mars, which is likely a meteorite that crashed onto the Red Planet. The rock dubbed “Cacao” was found in a region near Mars’ Mount Sharp that likely had a “big crater” in the ancient past. Prior to these findings, Curiosity also spotted a strange rock formation that looked like an “alien doorway” which likely formed on Mars due to seismic activities. Curiosity had also previously found the “Egg Rock” in 2016, and stumbled upon a 7-foot-long meteorite in 2014, which the rover’s team named “Lebanon.” The Opportunity rover, which was active on Mars from 2004 until 2018, had also made its share of discoveries of unique rocks on the Red Planet, discovering the famous Heat Shield Rock – a meteorite that was the first to ever be found on another planet.
