好奇號(hào)探測(cè)器在火星上發(fā)現(xiàn)了花

During its ongoing investigation of Martian rocks in Gale Crater, the Curiosity rover stumbled on a tiny surprise. The rock artifact, which resembles a piece of coral or a flower, is smaller than a penny.
好奇號(hào)探測(cè)器日前在火星蓋爾隕石坑內(nèi)的巖石上探查時(shí)，無(wú)意中遇到了一個(gè)小驚喜，發(fā)現(xiàn)了一塊狀似珊瑚或花朵的石頭，體積比一美分硬幣還要小。
The Martian "flower" and the spherical pieces next to it were likely "made in the ancient past when minerals carried by water cemented the rock," according to NASA.
美國(guó)宇航局稱(chēng)，這朵火星上的“花朵”和附近的幾塊球狀石頭可能是“遠(yuǎn)古時(shí)期水中礦物凝結(jié)成的石頭”。


Curiosity took an image of the rock arrangement on Feb 24 using the Mars Hand Lens Imager, a camera located on the end of its robotic arm.
2月24日，好奇號(hào)用機(jī)械臂末端的火星手持透鏡成像儀拍下了這幾塊小石頭。
