Image captured by Mars rover shows a mysterious ‘doughnut’ on the planet’s surface

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:45 GMT

(CNN) — An image captured by the Mars rover Perseverance shows a mysterious doughnut-shaped rock on the red planet’s surface.Launched in July 2020, the Mars Perseverance rover continues to explore the planet’s 28-mile-wide (45-kilometer-wide) Jezero Crater for signs of ancient microbial life, according to NASA. The rover collects samples of rock and broken rock and soil (called regolith) for possible return to Earth by a future Mars mission.The Mars “doughnut” is one of the latest objects captured about 100 meters (roughly 328 feet) away in the delta of the Jezero Crater by the SuperCam Remote Micro-Imager — one of the rover’s cameras helping scientists see what’s on the planet’s surface.The Perseverance team hasn’t made the rover go closer to the doughnut-shaped rock to examine or sample it, so its exact makeup and origins are unknown, said Jim Rice, an assistant research scientist in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University.

Strong service sector means no relief over eurozone inflation in June

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:45 GMT

Underlying inflation in the eurozone accelerated in June, with fresh evidence that labor-intensive services are now the biggest headache for the European Central Bank.While monthly headline inflation dropped to 5.5 percent from 6.1 percent in May, core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose to 5.4 percent from 5.3 percent. Prices for services, which form the largest part of the economy, rose 0.6 percent on the month. According to figures released on Friday by Eurostat, they were the only major component of the index that accelerated, but they did so by enough to completely offset slowing food inflation and absolute falls in energy prices. Falling energy prices, which were down 5.6 percent on the year in June, have brought headline inflation down from a peak of 10.6 percent in November. Food price inflation, which peaked at over 15 percent in March, also remains a problem. Prices for food, alcohol and tobacco rose 0.4 percent and were up 11.7 percent from a y...

The Netherlands imposed new export controls on microchips technology on Friday, restricting the sales of Dutch manufacturer ASML’s advanced chips machinery to China.ASML will have to seek export licenses for some of its more advanced microchip printing machines from September onward, new rules published Friday said.

Nice Start to the Holiday Weekend

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:45 GMT

The holiday weekend is off to a fantastic start! We’ll have a beautiful summer day today with partly cloudy skies and warm temperatures. The blue sky between the clouds might be more of a filtered blue with some very high level wildfire smoke but other than muting our blue skies it really won’t have an impact for us today. There’s also the chance (incredibly small chance) of an isolated shower. It’s much like yesterday when most of us had no idea that one or two showers popped up. If you got underneath one, it was just a very quick light shower and you were able to carry on with your day. That’s the chance that’s back today.The forecast will get a little more unsettled as the holiday weekend rolls on. Even though the rain chances will go up, the temperatures won’t fluctuate much. So the good news is we will have warm air all the way through the 4th. There’s a small spot shower chance both Friday and Saturday, a 10% chance each day. Sun...
