Hadn't had enough of spherules already?

Of course you saw them first here, right as it was happening (😊 #bragging).

But here's what the #Mars2020 mission team have to say, at this time:

"Last week the #Perseverance Science Team were astonished by a strange rock comprised of hundreds of millimeter-sized spheres… and the team are now working hard to understand their origin."

The distance is about 2.5m away from the camera, just to the right of the right front wheel of the rover. What exactly is that we see here? Spherules with holes? 😮 🧐 🤔 Processed SUPERCAM_RMI looking N from RMC 69.2124 Sol 1442, LMST: 11:06:22 Original: https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020-raw-images/pub/ods/surface/sol/01442/ids/edr/browse/scam/LRF_1442_0794948148_231EBY_N0692124SCAM01442_0100I6J01.png Credit: #NASA/JPL-Caltech/LANL/CNES/IRAP/65dBnoise #Mars2020 #Solarocks #Space

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Molière

CLÉANTE: There’s true and false in piety, as in bravery,
   And just as those whose courage shines the most
   In battle, are the least inclined to boast,
   So those whose hearts are truly pure and lowly
   Don’t make a flashy show of being holy.
 
[Il est de faux dévots ainsi que de faux braves:
Et, comme on ne voit pas qu’où l’honneur les conduit
Les vrais braves soient ceux qui font beaucoup de bruit,
Les bons et vrais dévots, qu’on doit suivre à la trace,
Ne sont pas ceux aussi qui font tant de grimace.]

Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 1, sc. 6 (1669) [tr. Wilbur (1963)]
