A grayscale photo panorama of the Martian surface shows an area of flat ground in the foreground, with some smooth and some rocky sections interspersed, and two tall buttes in the background, one at the right side of the image and one dominating the center. The center one is brightly backlit by glowing sunlight. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible at the far left, bottom, and far right of the frame.

NASA’s Perseverance rover discovered “leopard spots” on a reddish rock nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” in Mars’ Jezero Crater in July 2024. Scientists think the spots may indicate that, billions of years ago, the chemical reactions in this rock could have supported microbial life; other explanations are being considered.
