NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has spotted a strange object out of the corner of its “eye”: a mysterious rock that resembles a cluster of hundreds of spider eggs. The rock, which was discovered on the slopes of Witch Hazel Hill on the rim of Jezero Crater, is lightly dusted with red sand and conspicuously out of place.

This rock, which the Perseverance team named “St. Pauls Bay,” is float rock, meaning it wasn’t found where it formed. As a result, it’s missing context clues that could explain its strange texture, according to NASA’s statement.
