Discover how NASA's October 29 map narrows the ancient Martian meteorite Teghaza 001 to 13 possible origin sites in Mars' southern highlands. Learn how the rock, found in Mali's Sahara Desert in 2022 and dated to more than 4.1 billion years old, was matched to those sites by comparing its mineralogy and chemistry with Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter data, and why scientists can narrow the search but still cannot name the exact crater that launched it from Mars.
