‘Dragon Bones’ on Mars – Bizarre Formation Never Seen Before
NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover has captured images of what appear to be bone-like structures protruding from rocks on the Red Planet. The photographs, taken on Sol 3786 by the rover’s mast camera and ChemCam, have sparked excited debate online. Some suggest that the structures could be fossilized fish bones, while others speculate that they could be the remains of a dragon-like creature. However, some experts believe that the rocks may have eroded over a long period of time due to Martian winds.
Astrobiologist Nathalie A. Cabrol expressed her excitement about the images, stating that in her 20 years of studying Mars, she has never seen such a bizarre rock before. Another Twitter user, who has been looking at Mars images since the Sojourner mission in 1997, also noted that the rock formations were unusual.
While some suggest that the structures could be natural rock formations caused by wind erosion, others believe that they are fossilized remains of plants or creatures. One user suggested that it could be a fossilized fir tree branch or fish backbone, while another believed that it could be the back of a fossilized Martian dragon.
These images have caused excitement among researchers and space enthusiasts alike, as they could provide new insights into the geological history of Mars. As we continue to explore the Red Planet, we may discover more mysteries and surprises that could help us better understand our neighboring planet.
