Mars mystery of the white rock leaves Nasa scientists puzzled
Scientists are stumped as to how a rock mysteriously appeared in images of the same spot taken two weeks apart by Nasa's Mars rover Opportunity. The rover, which landed in an area known as Meridiani Planum a decade ago, is exploring the rim of a crater for signs of past water. On January 8, while preparing to use its robotic arm for science investigation, Opportunity sent back a picture of its work area. It showed a bright white rock, about the size of a doughnut, where only barren bedrock had appeared in a picture it had sent back two weeks earlier.
