It\u2019s located near Aeolis Mons, also known as Mount Sharp, near the center of the 96-mile-wide Gale Crater, where Curiosity has spent countless years roaming the surface.<\/p>\n<p>NASA says the\u00a0crater could once have been a lake, and all the moisture would help form these odd formations and flower-like deposits. Some of NASA\u2019s other exploratory devices have captured similar interesting images, such as these <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mars.nasa.gov\/resources\/6944\/martian-blueberries\/\">blueberry-shaped rocks<\/a>\u00a0in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Curiosity has taken\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/msl\/images\/index.html\">many photos<\/a>\u00a0on its long journey, shaping our understanding of what Mars\u2019 surface looks like. For those wondering, Curiosity is nearing the end of its journey and has roamed the red planet for roughly ten years so far. Unfortunately, scientists say that its nuclear power system was only meant to last 14 years, so we\u2019re not sure how many more photos we\u2019ll get like this last one.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s okay though because\u00a0Perseverance\u00a0Rover is there to keep exploring.<\/p>\n<p><small>via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/tiny-mineral-flower-on-mars\">Live Science<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
