NASA's Perseverance rover discovered a strange rock, named St. Paul's Bay, at the rim of Jezero Crater on Mars. This "float" rock, made of rounded, dark stones, is not native to its location, prompting questions about its origin and the forces that shaped it. The rock's formations suggest Mars was once hydrologically, geologically, and possibly biologically active, indicating the planet may have once harbored life.
