The Perseverance Rover on Mars may have stumbled upon the oldest rocks humans have ever seen.

They could contain information about how rocky planets like Mars and Earth evolved in their infancy.

The rover also came across evidence of a new habitable setting for possible Martian life.

Next stop, Witch Hazel Hill , will spend the next six months exploring an area called Witch Hazel Hills .

Located away from the crater, the rocks at Witch Hazel Hill should be more representative of the geology of the broader region beyond.

NASA ’s Mars orbiters have already identified extensive outcropping of layered rocks.

“As geologists we love layered outcrops,” geologist Candice Bedford said.
