NASA's Perseverance Rover Collects First Rock Sample on Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover has successfully collected its first rock sample on Mars. The core sample, about the size of a piece of chalk, was taken from an outcrop called 'Rock Nose' in the 'Crater Floor Fractured Outcrop' area of Jezero Crater.
