Mars Vacuum cleaner attachment

Mars Vacuum cleaner attachment. I don't even need to circle it. It is very obvious. Ill post a picture shortly.

What else could it be. Certainly looks man made.

Well, I guess that's all we need for proof, then, right? It kind of looks like something, so that's what it is.

Well no. It would be better if we had a human there that could pic it up and check it out or maybe a sample return mission. All I got it this photo =(.

Well this proves there are women on Mars....haha

Well this is definitely an interesting one. Is that outcropping vertical? I can't see how that thing isn't falling off.

Its a model of the 'US Enterprise' from Star Trek!

Brilliant,
Obviously, it belongs to my fork'n'knife who threw it out with the instructions, she uses the only thing that is the size of a barge and cleans feck all except a few crumbs, and destroys all the skirting boards. Either it's that, or a lost radiator key, missus would throw that away too, for the same reason, thinking it's part of the vaccum cleaner.

It is hard to imagine it forming naturally, especially at that location. It looks out of place either way. Nothing else around it or in view resembles it at all. Lost part of beagle 2 maybe lol?

Good spot Xeven!

Just for the record - verified as a genuine Mars Curiosity photo Mars curiosity photo

And that's the funniest shaped rock I've ever seen.

It likely fell off the outcrop above, and likely too, a heap of all that stuff has near zero mass, the rock equivalent of balsa wood.

Either artificial or part of one of our landing craft. But not a rock, without a doubt. Great find!

Instead of making jokes about rocks, or making assumptions that something looks like a piece of a larger machine.

Can we ask ourselves WHY something so symmetrical looking is among rocks out of place, how big would it be in estimation, and what it could possibly be?

we could but then you would have nothing to contribute! =). It is in a few other pictures. My guess is its about the size of a vacuum attachment.

Someone else found it in November and made a video. Just found it doing a search on google and found this video on utube. Funny they thought it was a vacuum attachment too. It must be from one of the space probes.

Vacumm on Mars

The Martians are really going to get mad at us if we don't quit leaving our junk laying around their planet...


Seriously...WTF?

Not even a mention of the standing water?

Anyway, if you look at the link pic of the object, above it about 10-15 centimeters there's a big grey rock. Looking at the bottom right, you can see some doctoring work with a different brown colour. - Maybe linked?

Looking at the circular base of whatever it is, seems like some kind of spiny stuff coming out of it. Is that a Jpeg artifact, or is it there? Wierd.

Great Find. For the first time I can write , it doesn't look like a rock to me! However, I have no idea what could have formed it, definitely a winner for old man erosion. Unless it's a lost part, how did it erode like that?

What data can you cite that the ground material in that area is "near zero mass?"
That seems to be an absurd comment, and if it were as you say, the Martian winds would have blown it to dust already, and it would not be seemingly perched in a precarious position.

There are other similarly curved rocks in the area.

For instance, this one, taken on Sol 819:
