I couldn't find a thread that strictly had images from Curiosity specifically. If there is one Mod feel free to move this. I was wondering if we could place images from that spacecraft in one thread? I wanted to start here.

Some say a metal object and one person has even said it was a large lizard. I don't know but its intersting. The object in question is at 12 o'clock in this picture and has 2 reflections emanating from it. Taken January 30th 2013.

Here is a link of images from NASA Curiosity.
"one person has even said it was a large lizard. I don't know but its intersting. The object in question is at 12 o'clock in this picture and has 2 reflections emanating from it. Taken January 30th 2013."
Anytime something from Rover Curiosity is posted. it just makes us more "curious" about the planet Mars.
Actually, when I magnify your posted pic, it seems to me that these two "reflections" may be emanating from two different unattached pieces. It is a little difficult to be certain on that.
I have no speculation/thoughts about what this might be! I don't see anything that indicates a living object though.
There is something that strikes me as maybe a little odd in this pic. Some of the rock shadows seem a little out of whack - those near the bottom left of the pic. To my view, they just don't match the rocks/crevices being shadowed, relative to apparent sun angle??
The shadows seem okay to me but I did notice 3 spots that reflect at the 6 o'clock and 6:30 positions. They are either reflections of something brighter or there are a number of pixels missing. (Or something is flaking off the rover.

There is such a thread but its best when there is such an anomaly to make its own thread because discussion usually gets long
Thread is here but I haven't had time to update and NASA hasn't sent me any new interesting updates so I forgot about iit :-[
Until this one. I was going to post it this morning :P
Here is the thread I will add it

Don't forget the first piece of metal they found

Well, I wish I could just whisk myself to Mars. There are so many things I would like to investigate. I have always been fascinated by outer space. Living Moon really got me interested in studying what I can from here. For that I am grateful. I can dream though! The moon fascinates me also.
