It's the end of an era, at least for the Perseverance rover on Mars, who has lost a long-time friend.
The rock was first seen back in early February, 2022 . It somehow ended up in the rover's left front wheel and like a good friend, stuck with the rover for a long time.
Rover engineers have said that rocks can get into the wheels when the rovers are traversing slopes. They can also get in there as the rover moves over loose terrain and as the rover's weight breaks rocks into pieces. During the year when the rover was carrying the rock, many humans could relate. Who among us hasn't picked up a great rock, carried it around, maybe saved it for a long time, or even placed it somewhere safe or special?
