APOD 3.3

Today's APOD is pretty funny, it is a photo taken by the mars rover and was posted on January 29th.

This photo is of the exact same spot on mars with 12 martian days (sols) difference. No one is there to move anything or change around the surface. However, the before shot shows nothing there and the after shows what appears to be a jelly doughnut that is actually a rock that just appeared there out of nowhere. The Opportunity rover took the picture and intrigued scientists. It turns out that it's lighter color and red interior is due to a higher amount of manganese. Opportunity is still moving today after 10 years despite the fact it was only supposed to last three months. I just had two write about this picture since it will definitely cause some debate on the existence of martians.
