NASA has found a mysterious creature on the red planet.
A very peculiar animal was captured on camera by NASA’s Curiosity rover as it roamed around Mount Sharp, Mars.
It seems to be a small creature that has a long tail, and big black eyes, and is hopping across the surface of Mars.
The rover operator thinks it’s likely a jumping spider but there are some features that could rule out its identity.
Mars is one of the planets in our solar system. It is called the Red Planet because of
its reddish-orange color. Mars is dry and dusty, but scientists have found liquid water on
its surface and have even found evidence that there might be life there. There are many mysteries to be solved on Mars including how long it takes to grow crops, how long a day lasts and what animals live there. However, with so many unanswered questions, NASA has announced a major discovery: they believe they have spotted an alien on Mars!
NASA identified a mysterious creature that is roaming the red planet. This creature has been spotted on Mars before, and it has been given the name “Athena.” NASA says that Athena is about 8 feet long and about 3 feet tall.
The way NASA spotted Athena was through an infrared camera on the Mars Rover named Curiosity. Curiosity gathers data by using different cameras to take pictures of the planet’s surface. NASA said they are not sure what Athena is, but they think it might be dead because there have been no more sightings of it since November 11th, 2018.
Athena may be a new discovery or an anomaly in the Martian landscape.
You might find the following image on NASA’s official website, and people could find no signs of alterations or modifications on the image.
At first, glance, what the Rover found could be easily overlooked. But, if you look closely, you can see an extraterrestrial creature hanging by the rock formations.
Many people assumed it was just another rock piled on top of the first, but several experts and specialists disagreed. The alien species found on Mars closely resemble crabs from our planet. But closer inspection reveals that those are not claws but tentacles.
Some people who saw the image pointed out that the rock formation the creature is on seems to stick out. This may mean it’s not a simple rock formation but a trap. Could this alien be luring its possible victims by camouflaging itself as smaller than it is?
For now, people still have reservations about what this image contains. Until new evidence is shown to the public, people will continue to speculate about the creature’s true nature in this image.
Humans have always looked towards the distant stars for other life, but what would we do if we ever find one? Are we prepared for the repercussions of meeting extraterrestrial species? Is our technology advanced enough to protect us?
We know we are not civilized enough to deal with the alien life in our backyard. We do not have the technology to make constant contact with them yet. And it may take a few more years before we get to that point. Our universe is vast, and the chances of us living alone in this massive space are both unnervingly high and terrifyingly low. We will have several opportunities to try and meet aliens from different planets once we are ready. The best thing we can do now is to prepare the future generation for the eventuality of introducing humanity to the galaxy.
