The image was released as the choice of the week in a vote promoted by the organization itself with its followers. In this way, it instigated the raising of questions about the formation and geological processes that led the stones to acquire these formats.
Therefore, the images were published directly on the social networks page of the NASA so your followers could comment and interact. The novelty is provided through the technology used in the Perseverance robot, which allows the capture of high quality images.
The robot developed by NASA has a camera called Right Mastam-Z, which is positioned at the highest part of the device's mast. With the help of this technology, the robot is able to capture high-quality images for assessing the soil of Mars.
In addition, the Perseverance rover has been taking several images that are released through the official page of the organization to the public. A clear example of this was the captured image of another rock on Martian soil that had several similarities with a “doughnut”.
According to scientists familiar with NASA studies, probably the formation of these rocks in the abnormal shapes found is due to the severe condition of the climate faced on the planet.
Furthermore, it would also be influenced by the time they are exposed to the impact of winds, sandstorms and other types of phenomena.

The images are part of the Mars reconnaissance and exploration mission, which started in February 2021. At the beginning of the exploration process, the American organization sent the robot perseverance.
The process has been going on for more than two years and should continue as NASA continues its studies of the topography of Mars. In addition, the images are posted weekly through the space agency's official page on the social network X (formerly Twitter), owned by billionaire Elon Musk.
