NASA's Curiosity rover has captured images of a coral-like rock formation on Mars, estimated to be several billion years old. The discovery was made on Sol 1585 of the rover's mission and has drawn attention due to its resemblance to terrestrial coral reefs. Scientists suggest that the presence of this coral-shaped rock could indicate the existence of ancient water on Mars, which in turn may point to prehistoric life on the planet. The images provide a clear and detailed panorama of the Martian surface, located approximately 199 million miles from Earth. This finding adds to ongoing research into Mars's geological history and its potential to have supported life.
