The strangest objects ever photographed on Mars leave many people amazed

This image taken by NASA's Perseverance rover, sometimes called Percy, on Mars shows a fibrous object that is neither plant nor solid. It looks a bit like spaghetti.

According to a NASA scientist, the most likely explanation is that the object is the remains of the Percy lander.

This image, called "Angel Image" by the European Space Agency (ESA), was taken by the Mars Express satellite and released in 2020. In fact, this image of an angel spreading its wings next to a heart is actually the remaining ice craters at the south pole of Mars.

This is a photo of the surface of Mars taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2016. The captured image looks like a piece of Morse code.

Astronomer Veronica Bray tried rewriting the code. The resulting 'message' read “NEE NED ZB 6TNN DEIBEDH SIEFI EBEEE SSIEI ESEE SEEE!!” - very “alien”.

In fact, the Morse code in the image is a series of sand dunes belonging to the dark side of Mars.

Long neck dinosaur rock

In April last year, the Percy Rover captured another interesting image on Mars, a rock shaped like the head of a long-necked dinosaur. So much so, that NASA scientist Kevin Gill named it the "Brachiosaurus." However, many on social media said the rock looked more like a chicken leg.

A strange light in the distance appears in this image of the Gale Crater region taken by the Curiosity rover in 2016. Some have suggested that this is evidence of an alien civilization living beneath the surface of Mars.

However, the bright spot is likely an optical illusion created by a cosmic ray.

Blueberries on Mars

An area at Meridiani Planum on Mars, where the surface is covered with round gray pebbles that look like unusual blueberries, was explored by NASA's Opportunity rover in 2004.

These "strange round objects" vary in size, ranging from 100 micrometers to 602 mm in diameter.

To this day, scientists have not come to a consensus about what these so-called blueberries are.

Femur

A plastic bag

A Martian squirrel in camouflage
