(NASA / JPL-Caltech / Cornell)NASA's Mars rover Opportunity has found a Martian rock covered in weird material as its odometer hit a major milestone this week, with the long-lived robot completing equivalent to a half–marathon on the Red Planet.
Opportunity, now in its seventh year on Mars, found the odd Mars rock during the past six weeks studying investigating a crater called "Concepción."
The crater is about 33 feet (10 meters) in diameter, with dark rays extending from it, as seen from orbit, which made it a target of interest for rover inspection because they suggest the crater is young.

A cursory examination supports a face value conlusion that this looks like a piece of Petrified Wood with a large cut in it! The blue coloring appears to paint.
ReplyDeleteCould Martian Archeology be less complicated than that? I think not!!
SEE THE TRIANGULAR ROCK BEHIND HAVE A PICTURE AND SOMME PART OF THE ROCK WAS DELETED BY NASA ( THE FORM OF THE ROCK ISN WHAT WE SEE) , TO ME ALSO SEEMS A WOOD BLOCK WITH OLD BLUE PAINT...
ReplyDeleteThe blue "paint" looks kinda like the continental structure on Earth. Probably just a coincidence though!
