NASA names "Rolling Stones Rock" on Mars



[ad_1]

The team behind NASA's InSight lander has unofficially named a rock on Mars "Rolling Stones Rock" according to the group.

A little bigger than a golf ball, the rock apparently rolled about 1 meter on November 26, 2018, propelled by InSight 's reoortors when the spacecraft sits down for study the deep interior of the Red Planet. The next day, in the images taken by InSight, we can see several divots in the orange-red ground behind "Rolling Stones Rock". This is the farthest, NASA saw a rock roll landing on another planet.
