Curiosity: Potential Anomalies (Update 01/2014)

I knew it, damned. Great looking haze on the horizon, never the less.

Thank you for doing all my work for me.

This funbox poster is having way too much fun on a serious thread. Life on Mars may have originated on Earth, so why is he laughing? (wondering how long it'll take for him to realize it's me with new clothes on).

one lightning fast one before I go out

looks like its turned into a spiralled cone

Missing the nice white stripes but now it looks like an old culvert under highway pipe. Nice half a tire behind it though.

I still think it's a pretty good match, the ellipse could be enlarged, slightly rotated and would still fit the outline well enough ... besides, it wouldn't be the first circular feature imaged by Curiosity, I can recall this formation from Sol 122:


Original NASA/JPL Image

No need to jump to any conclusions based on how 'close' such features might be to any geometric shape, but I do like to know if there is an approximate correlation (eg. circular, elliptic etc.), doesn't mean it's not natural ... but interesting nonetheless!

Yeah, curved crystals. I see those all the time.

edit on 31-1-2014 by Blue Shift because: (no reason given)

Of course nature cant make a stone curve or put a hole in it

the face

or make rock look like it could be a piece of cloth

nice curve

or be in competition with a modern day sculptor

Very arty

Can it

Interesting theory. Now if you could only prove that this is what happened on the Mars rock, you'd have something.

and don't forget guys , we cant take a single photograph seriously until we have the raw+exif , but even then we cant be serious because exif data can be hacked , its unfortunate that we have to rely on belief so much , o well

thats not a elipse ! its a badly shaped sandle !

*funBox comes back evens, what a surprise*

I read my earlier post to you posted (with electronic post-its) in jest, and realize that some people will not get that it was me playing. So I wanted to make clear with another post (this very one) that having fun on this thread, one of the epic threads on this particular forum, is the backbone (i.e. see Arken's spine) on which the real discoveries and analysis rest lightly. We have found things on this thread that are the stuff of dreams and nightmares, although most of them are illusions shaped by that ridiculous elf - Mother Nature - and if fun is not a part of digging within that stuff with two six-fingered hands then I wouldn't want to partake of his particular banquet.

Yes, it would be nice to find that "pipe system" the video you found is referring to. If Buzz found it I can't recall, but if so, and if the vandal didn't take the handle, it bears investigating. Good find. On a related topic, for the best free casino drinks, hang around observing in the high-money room, where the good stuff isn't watered down.

is that you Aleister?, what no fun ? , which post

o
I c

your going to have to put yourself into mamas shoes for this indiscretion
*funBox readys the plank*



ahh not doubt Buzz will have the answers , a pipe , somewhere , to early for a reread

reply to post by Aleister


ah, casinos are bad news , anyway

was nosing about sol ,seems a few more pics, I was horrified to see this

rusty iron bar ?*cough* nice clean please

lolink

with added perspective

from sol

I'm not sure how large it is, but that spiral object really reminds me of one of these shells

I know it's probably not, but man does it look like one. It even appears to have an opening at the top that has sealed up from being fossilized.

For those who'd like to see 'more context', a nicely stitched Sol 528 panorama is available here ...

Preview:

Also check here for updates, new panoramas are added on a regular basis!

This looks kind of the head of a statue, to me. Maybe it's just a natural formation. Just pointing it out.
So what do you think?

I can't seem to upload a picture, but I'm looking in the right side, just under the big rock.

Nice find BlackCat, and nice presentation funbox (howhedothat?). It looks like that guy on some deck of cards.

This work of rock art shows how an exact angle of sun and shadow, coupled with ones own memory bank, can combine with a natural shape to form a perfectly recognizable earth image thousands of miles (how far is Mars from Earth? Two, three thousand miles? Ha, we can walk to it in a few months) (lol) from "home". I like the eye, eyebrow, hat, almost everything about it. This is a pareidolia for the books, in case anyone puts together a Mars pareidolia book.

I have reported you for a gross t*c violation (or is it t*a, if you add blueit ridge). Things are now going on up on Mars that I'd rather see on a small screen in the privacy of my home.

A good find. That reminds me of a crystal formation, but I don't know enough about crystals forming to give an xpert opinion, just meandering through the martian landscape.
