On the 3786th Martian day of its stay on a neighboring planet, NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity photographed an object incredibly similar to the ribs of a skeleton.
An amazing picture was found by an astrobiologist Nathalie Cabrol. Posting it on Twitter, she wrote: “This is the most amazing rock I’ve seen in 20 years of exploring Mars.” For those who want to make sure that this is not a hoax, the photo can be viewed on the NASA website.
The post of the researcher has attracted huge attention – since April 11, it has gained 1.3 million views. The astrobiologist, naturally, was intrigued.
Most of those who responded considered the find evidence of past life on Mars and agreed that the ribs of some kind of skeleton were sticking out of the ground – they were exposed by the wind.
Abigail Freiman, who represents the Curiosity project team, explained on Twitter that the mysterious ribs are just “corals”. That is, they are not alive.
Most likely formed by sulfates that precipitated from the water that was once on Mars. Scientifically, such formations are called diagenetic crystal clusters – structures consisting of a combination of several different minerals.
But this explanation seemed strange to many. If this is a natural formation, then there should have been many such stones....<<<Read More>>>...

Ancient head statue photographed by Curiosity rover on Mars
The image obtained by the Curiosity rover has caused controversy on the
Internet regarding possible life on Mars in antiquity. Interestingly,
the stone looks like a fragment of an ancient Egyptian statue.
Indeed, it happens that many finds on the Red Planet have no explanation and defy any logic. This leads many researchers to assume that Mars was inhabited in the past.
An image of a supposed so-called “Statue of Ancient Egypt” on Mars was discovered by Joe White...<<<Read More>>>

Prairie Dog Found On Mars?
A possible hybrid rodent has been found on the red planet by the mars curiosity rover.
The anomaly which was photographed near gale crater appears to show a small mammal type creature possibly a hybrid species of gundi or prairie dog.

The Shadow Of A Man On Mars?
Daily Mail: Scientists have long wondered if life really does exist on Mars. And a new set of pictures released by NASA could appear to confirm conspiracy theorists' claims that we are not alone in the universe. The images taken by a NASA navigation camera have been released and appear to show a human-like figure working on the Mars Curiosity Rover, which is scanning the Red Planet. The pictures seem to feature a human-shaped shadow looming over the probe as if they are repairing it. The shadow formed shows what looks like a male figure, who isn't wearing a helmet as his short spiky hair is visible.It also looks like the figure is wearing an air tank on his back and a suit covering most of his body...READ MORE>>>...

Strong proof that there's water on Mars as Curiosity rover discovers rounded off pebbles
Daily Mail: 'Scientists exploring Mars have discovered that water once flowed in streams several feet deep, fuelling speculation that the planet could have once supported life. The news, which has left top NASA scientists 'excited', comes thanks to photographs of bedrock beamed back from the red planet by the Curiosity rover. There have been previous signs that water existed on Mars long ago, but the images released on Thursday showing pebbles rounded off, probably by water, offered the most convincing
evidence so far of an ancient streambed which could have been waist-deep.There was 'a vigorous flow on the surface of Mars,' said chief scientist John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology. 'We're really excited about this.' The discovery did not come as a complete surprise. NASA decided to land Curiosity inside a spot near the Martian equator, Gale Crater, because photos from space hinted that the spot possessed a watery past. What has surprised scientists are the mild temperatures recorded by the weather station on board Curiosity. On more than half the days Curiosity has been exploring Mars, the daytime temperature has been above 0°C, according to the Remote Environment Monitoring Station (REMS)...read more>>>...

Pyramids on Mars? Curiosity discovers mysterious rock on the red planet
Looking uncannily like an Egyptian pyramid, it is not something you would expect to see on the surface of Mars. Nasa engineers were so intrigued by the unique, football sized rock, they have driven the Curiosity rover up to it for a closer rock. The football-size rock will be the first on Mars to be examined by rover's robotic arm .Curiosity is about 8 feet (2.5 meters) from the rock. It lies about halfway from the rover's landing site, Bradbury Landing, to a location called Glenelg. The team plans to touch the rock with a spectrometer to determine its elemental composition and use an arm-mounted camera to take close-up photographs. Both the arm-mounted Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer and the mast-mounted, laser-zapping Chemistry and Camera Instrument will be used for identifying elements in the rock....read more>>>...

Fossilized human finger, ancient sandal and Martian animal: UFO hunters spot 'evidence of life' on Red Planet in Curiosity Rover's footage
Daily Mail UK: 'Since Nasa’s mission to Mars got under way on August 6, the Curiously Rover has beamed some astonishing images back to Earth that have left scientists and amateur star-gazers alike scratching their heads and envisioning UFOs. But even seasoned alien watchers were puzzled when the rover making its way through the Red Planet send back the image of what appeared to be a fossilized human finger. YouTube user StephenHannardADGUK, part of a group called Alien Disclosure UK, who had caused a stir on the Internet last week after pointing out white ‘flying objects’ zooming across the Martian sky called attention to a collection of ‘mysterious’ items he spotted in a video from Gale Crater. Mars Curiosty(sp) captures a possible ancient finger, a dome shaped object, a shoe or sandal and a possible Martian creature,’ Hannard wrote in the video description. ‘Are these anomalies real, tricks of the light or something else, as always you decide.’..read more>>>...

Engineers try to explain mysterious image in photo from Mars rover
A photo of Mars taken by Curiosity shows what might be the NASA rover’s spacecraft crash-landing in the distance. If so, it ’would be an insane coincidence,’ one engineer says.
Did Curiosity capture the galactic equivalent of the Zapruder film when it landed on Mars?
Seconds after the NASA robot’s landing Sunday night, Curiosity managed to squeeze off a handful of fuzzy, black-and-white photographs. One, taken with a device on its rear known as a Hazcam, captured the pebble-strewn ground beneath the rover and one of its wheels — and a blotch, faint but distinctive, on the horizon.
The images were relayed by a passing satellite. Two hours later, the satellite passed overhead again. This time, Curiosity sent home a new batch of higher-resolution photos. They showed the same horizon.
The blotch was gone....read more>>>...

Touchdown! Nasa's Curiosity rover survives 13,000mph plunge onto Martian surface
After travelling eight-and-a-half months and 352 million miles, NASA rover Curiosity landed on Mars at 5.33 GMT (1.33 EDT) this morning. The high-tech craft hit the top of the Martian atmosphere at 13,000mph, and was then slowly lowered by a radical floating 'sky crane' before gently arriving in a massive crater. The news was greeted with cheers and shouts in Nasa's Pasadena Mission Control, and within seconds the craft had sent back the first pictures of its new home. ubilant scientists hugged, wept and distributed Mars bars to each other as mission controllers confirmed the landing. 'Touchdown confirmed', controllers said. 'We are wheels down on Mars. Oh, my God.' Nasa Administrator Charles Bolden hailed the success as a big step towards sending men to the red planet.'Today, the wheels of Curiosity have begun to blaze the trail for human footprints on Mars,' he said...read more>>>...
