Tut mir leid, die NASA hat auf dem Mars keinen geheimen Eingang entdeckt
Ich weiss. Ich bin auch etwas enttäuscht.

You know what I'd love? Definitive proof of alien life on Mars. Give me tentacle monsters, a civilization of aliens living in underground bunkers. Make my sci-fi fantasies come true. A recent NASACuriosity rover image of an odd rock formation on the red planet has led to some fun speculation, but it's not proof of alien activity. Drat.
Weißt du, was ich lieben würde? Eindeutiger Beweis für außerirdisches Leben auf dem Mars. Gib mir Tentakelmonster, eine Zivilisation von Außerirdischen, die in unterirdischen Bunkern leben. Lassen Sie meine Sci-Fi-Fantasien wahr werden. Ein aktuelles NASA-Curiosity-Rover-Bild einer seltsamen Felsformation auf dem roten Planeten hat zu einigen lustigen Spekulationen geführt, aber es ist kein Beweis für außerirdische Aktivitäten. Drat.
Goofy Mars Rocks sind für mich die Würze des Lebens, und dieser ist eine Freude. Ich bin am Dienstag in einer seitdem entfernten Reddit-Diskussion darauf gestoßen, in der ich gefragt habe, was einen türähnlichen Ausschnitt an der Seite eines Marshügels verursacht haben könnte. Die Ansicht stammt aus einer Reihe von Rohbildern, die am 7. Mai von der am Mast montierten Kamera von Curiosity aufgenommen wurden.
UFO debunker UFO of Interest tackled the image of what looks like "an entrance to a secret underground tunnel" by sharing a broader look at the landscape. "Watching it in context as part of the whole mosaic, we can see that little niche in a rock with other blocks, fractures, shapes and other erosive features all over that rock face," UFO of Interest tweeted on Wednesday.

'Dog door' on Mars found by Curiosity rover is a rocky 'doorway into ancient past,' NASA say

Over the past week, the internet has been wild over images of what appears as a doorway cut into a cliff on Mars.
But scientists behind NASA's Curiosity rover, which snapped the pictures earlier this month, said that while the strange door-like feature on Mars provides a fascinating "doorway into the ancient past," it is perfectly natural rather than the work of some aliens in hiding.
The Curiosity rover found the Mars "door" on May 7 while imaging a mound known as the East Cliffs in the Gale Crater, which the rover has been exploring since its landing in 2012. The rover used its Mastcam instrument to take the image of the strange fissure, which is only 12 inches (30 centimeters) tall and 16 inches (40 centimeters) wide, NASA said in a statement. Clearly, humans would have difficulties entering the cliff through this "door," which is why the NASA team dubbed it only the "dog door."
"These kinds of open fractures are common in bedrock, both on Earth and on Mars," NASA said in the statement.
Commenting on the internet frenzy surrounding the discovery of the "door", the Curiosity team said on Twitter that the tendency of a human brain to look for patterns that make sense in ambiguous shapes (called "pareidolia"), is behind the internet sensation.
"Sure, it may look like a tiny door, but really, it's a natural geologic feature! It may just *look* like a door because your mind is trying to make sense of the unknown," the Curiosity team said in a Twitter thread. "There are several linear fractures in the mound, but in this spot, several fractures intersect, which allows the rock to break at such sharp angles."The team, however, added that while they don't expect a sensational discovery of an alien civilization behind the dog door, the odd crack will provide interesting opportunities for new science.
"In a less literal sense, my science team is interested in these rocks as a "door" to the ancient past," the team said.
Considering the recent renewal of interest in Unidentified Flying Objects, it is likely that not everybody will be satisfied with this explanation. Quelle: SC
