A buried Disk in the Spirit Sol 513 image on Mars?

This is the same famous image of the "Skull of Mars" in Gusev Crater Spirit Sol 513

that intriguing many researchers from many time. I stumbled in this image, and, at a closer look, seems that there is a perfect circular disk buried in the sand with a black hole right in the middle.

Cropped


In yellow


Any Idea?

Sand and dust swirled by the wind like what happens occasionally here on Earth?

Maybe. Frezbee for Giants...

wow!!

did you spot that?

i flagged you for the effort but unfortunately there is now way I think we can know what it is...

It is very easy for us to think its a natural formation

you can imagine all different kind of things from Mars images

I'm glad you are looking out all the time, but I'm not seeing anything in this one.
Keep up the good work, I know you'll find more zingers as time goes by.

Of course, heineken but I find this quite odd.
A circular shape, with a black hole right in the middle of something that seem a solid object that cast shadow.

I see rock, maybe sand.
And a few shadows.

thanks Jibby. I will do.
Seems that my pareidolia works fine. But sometime....

Absolutely right.

Seems that in Nasa/Jpl images the shadows don't works or match like here on planet Earth!

Interesting, not sure what to make of the image. Checking, there do not appear to be images with a more appropriate filter (L5) to get the details we might work with.

Looking at the scene on full context, the curved lines may well be natural formations. Having said that the image does raise some good questions. One is 'what is that strange light-effect that overlaps the shadow area?' as noted by a later poster.

I'll give you a couple of picks from the last few days viewing, one of which will blow your mind. This will demonstrate the wonders of pareidolia.

The first is a good example, found at :

marsrover.nasa.gov...

Here is the sample from the image, which contains what appears to be a face looking at the rover:



Upon higher magnification the face becomes less distinguishable, though some may still see a face. It is quiet difficult to see, but once you do it is like Wow!

This second image I think is not a case of pareidolia, nor is it a natural creation (Indeed, the wider MRO image shows exact similarities with previously noted symbols).

The sample is here:



For the perfect faces on Mars, we zoom in. This is it:
