NASA’s Perseverance rover captured an image of two separate rocks that resemble a “shark fin” and a “crab claw,” according to the Daily Mail.
NASA shared the latest discovery on the “X” website, sparking a wave of responses from space news followers, who jokingly said: The crab-like rock represents the remains of a “great cosmic crab.” Others said sarcastically: The shark’s fin might be the “back plates” of a dinosaur. The images taken by the spacecraft last month are the latest example of a phenomenon known as “pareidolia,” which defines the state of the human brain’s desire to understand what the eye sees, thus creating an unreal meaning.
This year alone, the US space agency shared photos of a donut-shaped rock and a bone-like stone.
NASA quickly rejected this idea, when it revealed that its width and length were only a few inches, while specialized geologists said: It may have been caused by several straight fractures in the rock formation.
