Mars Rover Opportunity Pic from 2004...hmmm

2PInZ · 08-02-2014, 01:13 AM

Last night while studying for my upcoming MCAT exam, a Google search on electromagnetism evolved into a 5 hour tangent on all sorts of weird hyper-dimensional theory involving our solar system and ancient civilizations and blah blah. Now, I'm by no means persuaded by people who claim to see things in objects that most likely are nothing special. If I stare at the wood grain on my current desk long enough I could probably see some sort of image.

But last night I came across a post in which someone pointed out something in this image from 2004 that really messed with my head. This is the link from NASA's JPL...click on the high-res JPEG image so that you can zoom in:

http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA05990

I am attaching an image with a black star marker where you need to zoom in on.

What do you see?

Looks like a rock that coincidentally happens to be shaped like a large turtle shell.

So did I miss something or did you not even confirm what messed with your head?

I wasn't aware that there was a correct answer

Yeah it looks like a turtle-shaped rock. The "head" is pointing southwest.

That's freaky - it looks like one of those Polynesian statue heads! Are you sure this isn't photshopped?

Pretty sure I saw a shadow of a Decepticon.

That doesn't look like a big puddle of water to you guys?

This is an example of matrixing but still quite interesting
