NASA is curious about this rock because it looks like a teddy bear

LIVE Techno – Scientists who study the surface Mars recently found a piece of rock that smiled at them. The picture was shared on Jan. 25 by The University of Arizona (UA) which looks like a teddy bear’s face.

The teddy bear is shown to have two bead eyes, a button nose and an upturned mouth, appearing to be grinning at the Martian camera NASA Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).

According to the UA, this photo of an extraordinary variety of geological formations was taken on December 12, 2022, when the MRO was flying about 156 miles (251 kilometers) above the Red Planet.

What actually happened here? It was probably just a broken hill in the middle crater ancient, according to a statement posted on the UA High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera blog.

“There is a hill with a V-shaped collapse structure (nose), two craters (eyes), and a circular fault pattern (head). The circular fracture pattern may be caused by the deposition of deposits on top of a buried impact crater,” they said.

The fragment lets us see a bear’s face emerging from a collection of rocks and dusty crevices thanks to a phenomenon called pareidolia, a psychological tendency that causes people to find meaning in random images or sounds.

Space provides an endless variety of things for pareidolia. For example, like nebulae (random streams of gas and dust) that once looked like the Godzilla city-destroying monsters or Martian rock formations that NASA had mistaken for Beaker, a character from the Muppets.
