NASA spacecraft sends images from Mars to Earth. In one of these images, viewers find things that cannot be found on the Red Planet: “partially buried skeletons.”
Pasadena – the planet Mars is currently unavailable to humans – perhaps for this reason inspires many and stimulates the imagination. What people on the Red Planet interpret can be seen over and over again when new images of NASA’s Curiosity rover, or “Perseverance,” are released. Sometimes there is talk of “weird buildings” on Mars, and sometimes people who have seen images of Mars wonder if they are there. rainbow can be seen*.
One thing is for sure: there are no limits to imagination when it comes to images of the Red Planet, as evidenced by this image taken by NASA in August 2021. Published as “Today’s Picture in Astronomy” she has. The image reminded him of a “partially buried skeleton,” Twitter user @nickstew_art wrote and continued, “This is the wind’s way of stripping the surface to expose the layers of rock beneath. It really is a grave planet.”
Mars is always good for surprises.

NASA’s Mars Mission: Rover Sends Strange Images to Earth – Can You See the Skeletons?
According to NASA, the image was taken by the “Perseverance” rover on Mars on its 180th day on Mars (August 22, 2021). A large rock can be seen in the center of the image, which the researchers call “Rochet”. The plan is for the rover to examine the rock with a two-meter-long robotic arm. If the consistency is right, rock samples will be taken, as said last August.
It actually happened in September: the Perseverance rover drilled two holes in the rock and sent a few selfies to Earth with “Rochette”. The rock sample should also reach the ground at some point. It is currently planned that future Mars missions will transport soil samples collected by “persistent” explorers and prepare to return to Earth.
NASA on Mars: Rover Photographs Things Not There
The NASA rover continues to take pictures of things on Mars that shouldn’t be on the Red Planet—and neither are they. In fact, the human brain likes to play tricks when looking at images taken from Mars. A “female figure” has been found in a Martian rock, a “floating spoon”* or “pyramid”.
NASA assures us that no human bones are visible in the 2014 Mars images. Erosion (by wind or water) makes the rock look like this.

The phenomenon at play here is called pareidolia and ensures that people believe they are learning about the known in the unknown: for example, a woman dancing on the strange planet Mars. This phenomenon, a kind of “automatic completion” in the brain, also occurs on Earth – for example when you see a face on the moon or recognize a terrestrial object in cloud formation.
Found bones on Mars? NASA experts explain what can actually be seen in the image
Images of Mars are very persistent and circulate on the Internet over and over again: they allegedly show “human bones” on the Martian surface. As NASA explained at the time, the image was taken in 2014 and captured by the Curiosity rover.
NASA explorers are aware of the “Persistence” and “Rochet” rock that the explorer will be excavating a few days after this recording. The footage reminded Twitter users of the “partially buried skeleton”.

“This Martian rock could look like a femur, but team members believe the shape was created by erosion – either from wind or water.” That’s what NASA said. The Red Planet may never have been able to support organisms more complex than microbes, which is why large fossils are impossible.
In fact, NASA’s Curiosity and Perseverance rover is on Mars to see if the Red Planet once harbored life and whether there are traces of it today.
Another discovery on Mars took NASA by surprise – “The evidence can’t be covered up.” Plus, NASA recently calculated an oxygen apocalypse – then our planet would run out of air. (tab)
