The robotic rover Opportunity has taken pictures of Mar's surface and we have realized that most of the rocks on Mars contain a high amount of the element Zinc. This discovery can help uncover the history of the red planet. It may lead to finding geographical hints of Mar's wet surface. If we can identify where Mars had its oceans located it may lead us to find remains of maybe pre-historic life that existed on Mars. It may also tell us why Mars is now dry and maybe this is because of a cataclysmic event that depleted this planet of any existing life today. As the rover continues to explore the unknown terrain of Mars we will surely acquire more images that will help us attain more knowledge of our solar system's history.
