Spherical Mars meteorite is highlighted by the lenses of NASA's Curiosity Rover. This formation is a result of a process called concretion, where minerals accumulate around a central nucleus, giving the object a spherical shape. Meteorites with such a nucleus accumulate minerals as they descend through the Martian atmosphere, creating the captivating ball-shaped meteorite observed. The video showcases remarkable 4K resolution volumetric/stereoscopic footage of the spherical formation, providing analysis for its extraterrestrial origin. Aerodynamic forces and the properties of the materials contribute to the streamlined shape of this meteorite. The molten or ablated material cools and solidifies, transforming into the ball-like formation. To enhance visualization, 4K renders of Curiosity Rover on Mare are included. This video provide a clearer understanding of the concretion process and its connection to the formation of meteorites on Mars.
