Findings of Curiosity rover:
- NASA’s Curiosity rover to Mars has revealed purple rocks on the surface of Red planet.
- The photos of purple rock were taken near the base of Mount Sharp, one of the Mars’s tallest summits.

- The hematite as it is typically formed in aqueous environment, throws light that water may have once present in the area.
