Weird Looking Rock Found on Mars!, page 2

The red arrow shows an area where there should be shadow but it is absent. The sun is causing rocks to create shadows and the bowl shaped depression in the rock should be covered in shadow by the higher point of the rock that the sun would be hitting.

The blue arrows demark where egdes do not have the same "consistensy" (spelling?). The rocks have much rougher edges (look closely at the individual pixels) and do not blend into the picture as well as the object in question. This leads me to believe that it is most likely photoshopped, but if indeed authentic then perhaps it is man made debris.

Just My opinion, but doesn't this look like the picture was taken at "high noon"? After my analysis that what I came up with.



Wheather the pic is manufactured or not, Idont know, I'm no professional and anything can be done to a long line of 1's and 0's. But if nasa was trying to cover it up, wouldnt it have been easier for them to just 'not have a picture like that'?


Just dosnt seem normal for then to fabricate something like this for us to scruitinize. (sp?)

My take anyways, thanks!

Some of you guys need to check out the follow up images from the days after 733. The panaromic camera is the best one to look at, though the navigation cam also helps out on this rock.

marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov...

The rock becomes less mysterious in my opinion after you see some of the other pictures and some other "whitish" rocks in the background.

I will say that not having any dust/dirt on the bottom like the other rocks is interesting.

NASA alter their pictures.

They wanted us to 'see' the red planet, but from a Martian perspective the sky is blue.

And I think it looks like a piece of masonry, or a rock thats been smoothed by the oceans there once were.
