Scientists find unusual features on Mars that point to signs of ancient life

A 'selfie' taken by NASA's Perseverance Mars rover, made up of 62 individual images, on July 23, in this image released on September 10, 2025. A rock nicknamed 'Cheyava Falls,' which has features that may bear on the question of whether the Red Planet was long ago home to microscopic life, is seen to the left of the rover near the centre of the image.
