Curiosity Finds a Meteorite, Cacao
NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured this image of an iron-nickel meteorite nicknamed “Cacao” on Jan, 28, 2023, the 3,725th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. This meteorite, discovered in the “sulfate-bearing unit,” a region on Mars’ Mount Sharp, is estimated to be about 1 foot (30 centimeters) across. It’s one of several meteorites Curiosity has seen while exploring Mars.
