The 21st rock core captured by NASA’s Perseverance has a composition that would make it good at trapping and preserving signs of microbial life, if any was once present. The sample – shown being taken here – was cored from “Bunsen Peak” on March 11th, the 1,088th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. (NASA/JPL-Caltech)
