Mike Smith Cosmos Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Is this a picture of a stone house on Mars? Admittedly it does look like a pile of rocks... Is this a "Fake " picture ? Or are we interpreting as "what we see" ? Or am I just being Naive ?

ydoaPs Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Guys, come on. The goat has to live somewhere! And it needs someplace to horde its berries! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Guys, come on. The goat has to live somewhere! And it needs someplace to horde its berries! Berries grow in hordes on Mars? Maybe that's why the planet is red: Berry stampede. On a sidenote: I seem to agree with ydoaPs: it is far more likely to be a shed or a barn than a house.

Moontanman Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 It does look a lot like a pile of rocks, not impossible to get a pile of rocks naturally but it would seem unlikely in this case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet ydoaPs was trying to link to a thread by a guy who saw things in photos from Mars. I want to say his name was Farsight, but it was years ago, he wore a tinfoil hat, and now that you mention it I think he was smoking some kind of herbage....

And about the herbage, they eat berries. Ah, ExtraSense. Despite the name, that man was not near the front of the line when they were passing out "sense". I do think he had his own herbage and saved the berries for the goats. The bigger question is why didn't they move close and take a picture? I'm betting they did, or will, but those pics won't get shared because it would refute the whole "Martian goat shed theory" they're hoping to get funding for. The ones on Mars are very picky. Which, granted, is peculiar. ExtraDense was very clear that those are statues of goats on Mars. Real goats on Mars is just ludicrous. This latest pic could be a statue of a house. Martians honor many things, apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyman Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Is this a picture of a stone house on Mars? Admittedly it does look like a pile of rocks... It is not a pile of rocks, it's a large rock with lost of cavities and the image is not recently taken by Curiosity, it was made by Spirit back in January 2006. "Right Panoramic Camera Non-linearized Full frame EDR acquired on Sol 728 of Spirit's mission to Gusev Crater at approximately 14:24:06 Mars local solar time, camera commanded to use Filter 1 (436 nm). NASA/JPL/Cornell" http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/2/p/728/2P191002092EFFAMOAP2443R1M1.HTML Here is an excerpt from a press release from around that time: "In recent weeks, as NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has driven through the basin south of "Husband Hill," it has been traversing mainly sand and dune deposits. This week, though, Spirit has been maneuvering along the edge of an arc-shaped feature called "Lorre Ridge" and has encountered some spectacular examples of basaltic rocks with striking textures. This panoramic camera (Pancam) image shows a group of boulders informally named "FuYi." These basaltic rocks were formed by volcanic processes and may be a primary constituent of Lorre Ridge and other interesting landforms in the basin. Spirit first encountered basalts at its landing site two years ago, on a vast plain covered with solidified lava that appeared to have flowed across Gusev Crater. Later, basaltic rocks became rare as Spirit climbed Husband Hill. The basaltic rocks that Spirit is now seeing are interesting because they exhibit many small holes or vesicles, similar to some kinds of volcanic rocks on Earth. Vesicular rocks form when gas bubbles are trapped in lava flows and the rock solidifies around the bubbles. When the gas escapes, it leaves holes in the rock. The quantity of gas bubbles in rocks on Husband Hill varies considerably; some rocks have none and some, such as several here at FuYi, are downright frothy." http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/press/spirit/20060127a.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
