Our home galaxy of the Milky Way has been said to look like spilled milk, but it is far more likely to take your breath away.Īs we gaze out at the rest of our galaxy, the billions of stars blur together to form a milky trail that crosses the night sky. Help yourself to the fruit! Don’t Cry Over the Spilled Milky Way The spheres’ composition was identified using a collection of blueberries in a depression in a rock known as the “Berry Bowl.”
When NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity studied these blueberries in 2004, it helped establish the idea that Mars used to have watery environments. However, some scientists think these berries may be food from the sky-small pieces of meteorite. Mars’s blueberries are believed to be hematite-rich concretions that formed after water heavy with dissolved iron diffused through the surrounding rock. Although the spheres are only at most about 6 millimeters in diameter, the nickname is an apt fit. Some are lightly embedded in the rock itself, like a blueberry-studded muffin. The gray-blue-tinged mineral spheres are strewn across a flat Martian plane named Meridiani Planum and look like blueberries garnishing a rock cake.
