Mars Mystery: Even NASA is surprised by the zebra-like stone found on Mars, are the secrets of ancient life hidden on the Red Planet?

News India Live, Digital Desk: NASA’s Perseverance Rover, which set out to discover the secrets hidden in the depths of space, is in the news these days due to a discovery on Mars which no one had even imagined. The rover has found a rock on the rough ground of Mars, which has black and white stripes like ‘Zebra’. Scientists have named it ‘Freya Castle’. What is this ‘Zebra Rock’? (What is Freya Castle?) According to NASA scientists, this rock is one of the most unique structures ever seen on Mars. Its characteristics make it different from other Mars stones: Unique stripes: Dark and light colored stripes are clearly visible on this stone, which are reminiscent of ‘Metamorphic’ or ‘Igneous’ rocks found on Earth. Mystery of the texture: Scientists believe that such stripes are formed when the magma cools or when the rocks change due to extreme pressure and heat. Location Mystery: The most surprising thing is that the rest of the rocks in the area where this ‘Zebra Rock’ was found are completely different from it. This means that this stone must have rolled from somewhere far away and came here. Why are scientists excited? (Scientific Importance) The NASA team is very excited about this discovery because: Volcanic history: This stone could provide new information about the ancient volcanic history of Mars. Possibility of life: Such complex rocks often form in conditions where there was once water or thermal energy – the essential ingredients for life. The riddle of Jezero Crater: The rover is currently climbing the rim of ‘Jezero Crater’. Scientists hope that if they go higher they can find more such rocks.
