A peculiar picture from NASA's Mars Perseverance rover shows a sizeable boulder that appears to be oddly balanced atop a rock tower. The intriguing image came to light last week when the team operating the exploratory vehicle shared several photos on Facebook in a post marveling at the many "potential targets for study" to be found in an area of the Red Planet that the space agency has dubbed 'Hogwallow Flats.' Curiously, they made no mention of the balanced rock seen in one of the photos, though it was quickly noticed by people online and the picture soon went viral with all manner of suggestions for how the weird rock wound up there.
