Rumors of gold on Mars have been around for a long time. But none of this has been confirmed, and NASA has never publicly claimed the discovery of gold on Mars.
In 2004, NASA's Spirit rover sent back an image of rocks of strange shape and structure. The rock, full of protruding joints, was named "Pot of Gold" by the researchers. However, the "gold pot" is not actually related to gold. The "golden pot" rock contains hematite, a substance known to have formed in water or through volcanic processes. The reason why the "golden pot" is widely concerned is because it is likely to become a breakthrough for humans to explore the traces of life on Mars.
