did anyone check the size of the opening? I only ask as the old woman thing a few years ago looked really good until you find she was a few inches tall. I hope this isn't her door.
With Mars being one third the size of the earth a 6 foot human would only grow to 2 foot tall on Mars ,just like fish humans grow to their environment

Using this it's pretty obvious it isn't a door.
Agreed. It looks like a very shallow cave.
Geology at work! This image has been around the internet since it was released, and for a good reason. First, it is absolutely genuine, no photoshopped. And then, you can imagine the comments going wild: "Oh, looks like the house of the hobbits"... Frankly, we would be almost tempted to add a tiny door...Yes, to put things into perspective, this feature is about 30 cm in size (a foot), so fairly small. And, you can see from the rest of the image that it is actually the result of geology. You can see straight angles everywhere in the deposits surrounding it and a fracture line parallel to it to the left. The missing piece of rock is actually to the left, less than a meter a way to the left and tilted. It might have been separated after a quake, possibly a small asteroid falling in the area. That's a great picture! Credit Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

I would love to hear this explanation because to me this is pretty damn clear.

That would be based on gravity...

A door a porch and what is interesting is that it seems to have had the climbing natural rock cleared at the base for access by foot as well. That's a few billion to one chance, of all those occurring in the same place in the right proportions but then the universe is big.But what are the odds of the rover spotting such a thing on its journey.
