NASA’s Curiosity rover has captured images of unusual spherical rock clusters on Mars’ Mount Sharp that resemble fossilized dinosaur eggs. Found in a region called “The Boxworks” along the Gediz Vallis Ridge, these formations are not biological but geological, likely shaped by ancient fluid movements and mineral deposits. Scientists believe they may provide vital clues about Mars’ watery past and its transition to a dry planet. While drilling is impossible in the rugged terrain, Curiosity is using cameras and spectrometers for close analysis, continuing its mission to decode Mars’ environmental history. (PC: Money Control)
