Did Curiosity Photograph A Possible Life Form In First Images?

[mikeybandb]

O.K. so I'm checking out the first images from the latest Rover.I zoom in on what in on what I thought was a rock. Now I'm not so sure it's a rock at all. Maybe I am trying to hard to find some sort of anomaly,because
it sure looks like something poking it's head out of the ground to me.

Hmmm, Mikey...looks like a mollusk or snail...

HAs some symmetrical features to like those lines.

Cool!

maybe a crashed former probe of somekind

maybe an entrance  to beneath the surface

maybe mars rocks are like that

hummmmmmmmmmmmm

Or maybe I'm reading too much into it as usual

i am a firm believer that our focus is drawn to certain things and that knowledge will follow
it's just the time thing that messes with ya on when that knowledge shows up

I am having problems getting to that link, can you post a nice blowup of that area n question.

Thanks, Deuem

Looks like one of these!

It looks like the zoomed-in section doesn't match the original photo.

Hey Mikey, good eye! When one enlarges that screenshot, the anomalous item, to me, has the look of what might be a piece from the landing process of the rover. It is mostly very white, with uniform darker areas.

As a very "non-skeptic", that is what I see at first glance. Of course, with what I believe about the gross of activity that has taken place on Mars, I guess it could be most anything.

Just give Rover a call, and tell him to run over there and take a closer look!!!

Do the Mountains in the Crater Look Real

[rdunk]

What is a real mountain on mars supposed to look like?

If these are real mountains, then there certainly is some sort of "haze" hanging over them.

Now, if this Rover is inside a crater, then would not those "mountains" either be the crater rim, or formations outside of the crater.

And if those "mountains" do represent the crater rim, then I would say that crater rim might not look like a crater rim  should.

We will probably have an answer, as more pics become available.

[rdunk]

Well, now that I have done a little more looking, yep, those could be mountains. When we look at Gale Crater, and then look at the planned landing site, we can see that Curiosity probably has shot a pic of the mountainous looking rim.

I will post a screenshot of the crater, that has a drawn ellipse that shows the area where landing was planned. With that in mind, you can see some pretty rough hilly/mountainous looking stuff in the area.

For reference, the mountain inside Gale Crater, is named Mt. Sharp, and it rises 3.4 miles above the crater floor. That should give us a better feel for the height of the smaller "hills" surrounding the crater rim.

One other thing - in looking at this crater, just to the left of the mountain peak - there is an area with a little different look (if you magnify it a little more), that from a distance could be mistaken for buildings, and city! Now, JUST SAY'IN!!

I do think we need to be watchful for finding the real reason NASA has chosen this area for a Rover mission!!!

Looks a LOT more like THIS one from the last rover

i'm not ususally any good at loooking at these pics.. but the circle right above the one being pointed to
seems to have squares on it.. like a brick wall would look like
or a z with an extra line

can you guys see it.?

[ShotInTheDark]

Are we going to only see black and white images again???
