NASA’s Curiosity rover has discovered an intriguing shiny object on the surface of Mars called Little Colonsay, believed to be a meteorite. Curiosity has discovered meteorites on the surface of Mars before, but chemical analysis is needed before a judgement can be made about what exactly the object is.
NASA’s Curiosity rover project is back in action after some issues with its computer, and it has discovered an intriguing shiny object on the surface of Mars.
Curiosity’s ChemCam camera has been busy snapping images of the area around the rover, and the ChemCam will be looking next at four samples in particular. Two of these samples have been targeted before, but scientists want to go back and look at them in more detail. One of the re-targeted samples is “Little Colonsay,” a shiny object that the NASA team believes may be a meteorite.
