A Mars rover used a laser to zap the surface of a rock on Mars. Each laser pulse delivered one million watts of energy for five billionths of a second. The laser system, called ChemCam, is designed to take 14,000 measurements throughout the Curiosity rover's mission on Mars. The rover mission generated different opinions, with some viewing it as an achievement and others seeing it as mysterious.
