  • Is that a wooden log on mars?

    NASA’s Spirit and Opportunity rovers were identical twin robots who helped rewrite our understanding of the early history of Mars.




    Driftwood?

      Certainly looks like a log.

          Be that as it may, it still appears to be a log.

            sigh, probably the most important thing to do when faking images is the direction of the shadow.

            But then what is a fake image doing on NASA's website?
            I guess it just happens to look like a log.

            What's that bright thing off in the distance?

                ... or are you just happy to see me?

                    Then you certainly had nothing to do with it.

                      Sure. It can transmit hundreds of high resolution photos, but it can't upload a single video to youtube.

                        If you zoom into the background/horizon above it, you can see a campfire burning.

                          It looks like it's off a railway...perhaps the Crossrail project is going via Mars?
