Anonymous Coward User ID: 14093481 United States 01/05/2013 12:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In looking at the released images I am coming to the conclusion that Curiosity has landed in the middle of a gold field. Many of the rocks have gold veins and exposed gold nuggets. It is the only mineral I can think of that has the same reflective properties and is unaffected by millions of years of exposure. |

"Alerted to the mystery feature, MSNBC's Alan Boyle assumed it was just another piece of litter accidentally dropped from the rover. However, this isn't the case. On putting the question to NASA spokesman Guy Webster, it appears initial analysis has confirmed it is part of the rock and not something dropped on top." "So what could it be? The high-resolution MAHLI camera is intended to snap close-up observations of Mars surface features -- acting like hand lens magnifiers used by geologists in the field. Therefore, the object -- that, as noted by Boyle, is shaped like a tiny 'flower' -- is pretty small." "wants this to be evidence of some kind of Mars fossil, but in all likelihood, it's a concentration of minerals embedded in the rock. The former may sound more exciting, but the latter is the most likely explanation." "The human brain often attaches significance to random shapes, concluding that if it looks like a flower on Mars, then it must be something biological. This is a psychological phenomenon known as "pareidolia" -- and Mars is a very fertile environment for fooling our brains with random shapes." |

The enigma in the picture of Curiosity And 'the new mystery, among others, the Red Planet, which revived every time the suggestive hypothesis that there was life on Mars. It looks like a little white flower fossilized and was photographed by NASA rover Curiosity on Mars rocks at the end of December. Naturally, scientists are still far from considering evidence for the existence of life. The strange object, the composition of which still do not have special, does not seem to be an element taken from the outside (like the piece of plastic fell by the same Curiosity and photographed in October) but, according to Guy Webster, a spokesman for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, seems to be stuck in a rock and then 'native'.

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17693691 I'm still trying to figure out how they shot a piece of metal 240k miles away to the moon AND BACK with a computer as powerful as an Ipod. When I figure out that lunacy I'll make my way to the mars bullshit. something tells me i'll be looking for truth for a while.. And why no Moon Rover? Just think of how programed people are to believe humans went to the moon in 69! We are stuck in a sea of dumbass! |
