Curiosity's ChemCam Views a Rock Shaped Like Coral
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used the Remote Micro Imager, part of its ChemCam instrument, to view this wind-eroded rock shaped like a piece of coral on July 24, 2025, the 4,609th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Curiosity has found many rocks like this one, which were formed by ancient water combined with billions of years of sandblasting by the wind.
