An image of life on Mars or just our imagination

An image of life on Mars or just our imaginationThe amplification of a photograph taken by the Nasa Mars Rover (Spirit) in November of last year, on Mars surface, shows a greenish-brown human figure.

The discovery was made by “amateur astronomers”, according to an online report from The Daily Mail (British newspaper) published on Tuesday, and it was the result of a meticulous examination of the picture taken by NASA, which was published on January 2.

When the image was discovered, the American space agency just pointed out that it was captured by the exploration vehicle (Spirit) between November 6 and November 9, on the edge of a plateau when the vehicle was going through it. This plateau was called Home Plate, in the inner basin of the Columbia Hills range inside Gusev Crater.

NASA clarified that the taken panoramic image, looking toward the west, is a composition of separate pictures, and they were taken with Pancam filters. And the color is not real, but rather it has been modified to see details clearly.
