They find a Zebra on Mars

NASA’s Perseverance Discovers Striking Zebra-Striped Rock on Mars[Image: zebra.png]

Now this is a head scratcher looks intelligently made ........

Found on September 13, 2024, this unique rock, named “Freya Castle,” stands out dramatically from the surrounding Martian landscape. Its distinctive zebra-like markings have led to speculation that the rover may have entered an area ripe for significant geological discoveries. The find raises intriguing questions about the rock’s origin and how it came to rest in this location.

I think we may be getting closer to the truth and this was not a recent discovery are they going to slowly release, disclose that they have foundevidince of life once on mars or could this be some kind of probe like they theorize oumuamua could be?

Here is an actual photo of the rock without a huge blue banner.

That does not look like the same rock at all

Nope, quite underwhelming really.

Yeah, but it does look like it's totally out of place doesn't look like a meteorite or anything that hit the planet.

Well, yes out of place for sure, however, they suspect that it is a rock that has rolled down from the top of the crater that perseverance is in.

Those aren’t even close to the same picture. Zoomed in or not. The shape is different, the stripes are very different, the landscape the rock is laying on is very different.

The second picture looks like it could be one of two things:

1) a river rock type grinding away at it giving it the same stripped look that river rocks would have on Earth. This would mean water was absolutely flowing in that part of Mars.

2) More likely this is an igneous rock that has cracks in it as hot lava flowed over it. The lava was not hot enough to melt the rock, but was viscus enough to fill all the cracks and as it cooled, would be different colors than the original giving it this look.

This is what I think the answer is. The rock is believed to have been at the top of a crater, and Mars is a volcanic planet, no question about that.

Well, you learned something today: who published that image is not to be trusted. Smile

MSN only republishes other people's articles, apparently without any quality control.
