The bizarre big, dark stone, which has a hole in its center, was found surrounded by stones of similar hue by the rover’s remote-sensing camera.

“NASA Perseverance took a picture using the SuperCam Remote Micro-Imager on 23 June 2023 of a donut-shaped rock off in the distance, which could be a large meteorite alongside smaller pieces,” the California-based SETI institute tweeted on Monday.
