- Scientists believe these rocks were formed by ancient rainfall, similar to how they form in tropical climates on Earth.
- The discovery adds to the evidence that Mars may have once been a habitable planet capable of supporting life.
- Perseverance is one of two rovers exploring the Martian surface for signs of past life and collecting rock samples.
More evidence [that Mars was once a habitable](/story/news/nation/2026/01/16/nasa-mars-maven-orbiter/88195790007/), wet oasis not dissimilar to Earth has been found in the rocks scattered throughout the red planet.
The rocks, bleached white from what scientists suspect was ancient rainfall and humidity on Mars, were happened upon by [NASA's Perseverance rover](/story/news/nation/2025/08/15/nasa-rover-mars-daylight-panorama-photos/85671921007/). The car-sized robot is [one of two rovers that have spent years scouring the surface](/story/news/nation/2026/01/08/mars-curiosity-photo-nasa/88065196007/) of our [planetary](/news/space/) neighbor[searching for any sign that Mars was ever home to life](/story/news/nation/2025/09/11/nasa-ancient-life-mars/86088786007/).
A team of researchers who analyzed the thousands of rocks say their findings, [published](https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-025-02856-3) in December in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, serve as the latest evidence that the rust-hued Martian landscape could once have supported life.
What's more, the rocky fragments could hold clues into how Mars developed into its barren, rocky state, said study lead author Adrian Broz, a planetary scientist at Purdue University.
“Elsewhere on Mars, rocks like these are probably some of the most important outcrops we’ve seen from orbit because they are just so hard to form,” Horgan, a long-term planner on NASA’s Perseverance mission, said in a [statement](https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/2025/Q4/findings-suggest-red-planet-was-warmer-wetter-millions-of-years-ago/). “You need so much water that we think these could be evidence of an ancient warmer and wetter climate where there was rain falling for millions of years.”
/picture-gallery/news/nation/2025/12/19/3iatlas-mars-planets-cosmic-discoveries/87841984007/Here's everything to know about Perseverance, and the latest significant finding from the rover's adventures:

## What is NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars?
NASA's Perseverance rover, [along with Curiosity](/story/news/nation/2026/01/08/mars-curiosity-photo-nasa/88065196007/), is one of the agency's two car-sized robots exploring the Martian surface for signs that the planet was once habitable.
Scientists believe the geology of Mars may hold valuable clues about ancient life, and so the robotic vehicles, controlled remotely from Earth, have slowly navigated the rocky terrain to [scoop up and collect intriguing samples](/story/news/nation/2024/09/26/mars-rover-perseverance-zebra-rock/75378379007/).
After launching in 2020, [Perseverance](https://science.nasa.gov/mission/mars-2020-perseverance/) made a 200-day, 300-million-mile journey [to reach Mars](/pages/interactives/graphics/nasa-mars-mission-landing-2021-perseverance-rover/)' Jezero Crater in February 2021. At the end of 2024, after years in the trenches of Jezero, Perseverance [summited the steep Martian crater](/story/news/nation/2024/10/30/nasa-perseverance-rover-image-mars-crater/75937051007/) to begin the next leg of its journey exploring the rim.

## Perseverance discovers bleached rocks on red planet
The bleached rocks discovered by the Perseverance rover, analyzed in the recent study, are white, clay-rich kaolinite fragments that are commonly found on Earth. Scientists suspect kaolinite rocks, also rich in aluminum, are formed from millions of years of being leached of all other minerals in tropical, rainy climates.
The Martian samples the scientists studied, which bore a strong match to rocks found near San Diego and South Africa, ranged from as small as a pebble to as large as a boulder.
"It tells us that there was once a lot more water than there is today,” Broz said in a statement.
Because no major outcropping is near where the samples were found, it's possible they were washed into the Jezero Crater – once believed to have been a large lake filled with water – or were thrown in and scattered by an impact, according to the researchers. Satellite imagery has also spotted large outcroppings of kaolinite in other areas of Mars.

## Could there have been life on Mars?
The study authors argue that the discovered rocks serve as something of a Martian time capsule, concealing information from billions of years ago about the conditions that formed the now-barren planet.
After all, where there's water, there usually is life.
It's not so far-fetched to imagine that some sort of lifeforms once populated Mars – it's a major reason why NASA has sent a fleet of both ground and orbital vehicles to scour the Red Planet for years. In fact, it was none other than Perseverance that was behind the discovery [revealed in September 2025](/story/news/nation/2025/09/11/nasa-ancient-life-mars/86088786007/) of a rocky sample that scientists determined could possibly preserve evidence of ancient microbial life.
“All life uses water,” Broz said in his statement. “So when we think about the possibility of these rocks on Mars representing a rainfall-driven environment, that is a really incredible, habitable place where life could have thrived if it were ever on Mars.”

Stocks dropped sharply Thursday as AI concerns came to the surface once again.
The Nasdaq composite led major benchmarks lower with a loss of 2%. The Dow industrials retreated below 50000, down 669 points, or 1.3%. The S&P 500 slid 1.6%, after ending Wednesday with its smallest change since October.
Market fears have spread in recent weeks over artificial intelligence and potential disruptions, knocking shares of software companies, publishers, financial-services firms and others.
“Investors are so jittery about the implications of AI, both good and bad,” said Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research. “Right now, they're focusing on the disruptive aspects of it.”
Applied Materials, which makes equipment for chip production, reported earnings after the closing bell. Shares rose in response afterhours, as did shares of Airbnb and Coinbase after those companies released results.
[Treasury yields fell](https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-sp-500-nasdaq-02-12-2026/card/flight-to-safety-drives-treasury-yields-to-two-month-low-Ud375I4TEKoLGHtIjMR6), while crude-oil prices dropped 2.8%. International stocks were mixed, with South Korea's Kospi hitting a record and European stocks slumping to close their day.
Following January's [stronger-than-expected jobs report](https://www.wsj.com/economy/jobs/january-jobs-report-unemployment-b703b0e3), focus turns to tomorrow's inflation reading, which is expected to show consumer-price growth slowed to an annual pace of 2.5%.

The $1.6m (£1.2m) trial was funded by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (stock image)

A now-halted plan to run a hepatitis B vaccine trial involving thousands of newborns in Guinea-Bissau has been criticised by the World Health Organization as "unethical".

The US-funded study had sought to give one set of babies the vaccine at birth, while another would have had the shot delayed until six weeks of age.

The WHO said it had "significant concerns" about the plan, and described the birth-dose vaccine as "an effective and essential public health intervention, with a proven record".

The US health department, headed by Robert F Kennedy Jr, who has questioned the effects of vaccines, had sought to use the trial to answer questions about the jab's broader health effects.

The WHO said on Friday that its concerns regarded the study's scientific justification, ethical safeguards and consistency with established standards for research involving humans.

It stressed that the jab had been used for more than three decades in more than 115 countries.

The WHO said giving a proven life-saving intervention to some newborns but not others exposed them to "potentially irreversible harm".

A sizeable portion of Guinea-Bissau's population is estimated to have hepatitis B, and the WHO says vaccination at birth prevents the virus being transmitted from mother to baby in 70-95% of cases.

It argued that trials giving one group a placebo or not treating them were only acceptable when no proven treatment existed, something that was not the case with the hepatitis B birth dose vaccine.

The WHO recommends that all newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth. It says infection at birth is the most common way of having a lifelong infection, with 90% of infected newborns becoming chronic carriers.

In Guinea-Bissau, the dose is currently given at six weeks, though authorities plan to introduce the birth dose nationwide by 2028 to align with global standards, something the WHO said it would help accelerate.

A total of 14,000 babies in the West African country were due to be involved in the study funded by the US and led by Danish researchers.

But public outrage at the project prompted the Guinea-Bissau government to suspend it last month.

## 'We are not guinea pigs'

Critics have questioned why babies in the African country were being proposed for the trial.

Two months ago, a panel of top advisers voted to stop recommending that all newborns in the US receive a hepatitis B vaccine.

Kennedy has on several occasions denied being against vaccinations and has said he and his children had been vaccinated, but has also repeatedly stated widely debunked claims about vaccine harms.

Vocal opponents of the project in Guinea-Bissau include the country's former health minister, Magda Robalo.

Most people with the virus do not have any symptoms, or have very mild symptoms.

But some people can experience jaundice, dark urine, feeling very tired, nausea, vomiting and pain in the abdomen.

The WHO says chronic patients have a high risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer.
