There is now a 'Rolling Stones Rock' on Mars, and it's giving Mick and the boys some satisfaction. NASA named the little stone for the legendary rockers after its InSight robotic lander captured it rolling across the red planet's surface.

“NASA has given us something we have always dreamed of, our very own rock on Mars. I can’t believe it,” Mick Jagger told the crowd after grooving through a rendition of “Tumbling Dice.” ″I want to bring it back and put it on our mantelpiece.” He told the crowd that JPL scientists had come up with the name “in a fit of fandom and clever association.”

It only moved about 3 feet , but that’s the farthest NASA has seen a rock roll while landing a craft on another planet. The concert had originally been scheduled for spring, before the Stones postponed their No Filter North American tour because Jagger had heart surgery.
