Unusual Spheres on Mars
The Opportunity rover found these small, strange spheres on Mars near Endeavour Crater. Each sphere is only about three millimeters across. The image from Opportunity's Microscopic Imager shows many of them embedded in the Martian soil, some fractured. Scientists are still studying their origin.
