object has been found on
the surface of Mars by
NASA's Curiosity Rover.
In the photograph, taken by
Curiosity Rover, a bizarre
finger-like structure was
seen proturding out from
the surface of the Red
Planet. The said substance
was casting a shadow on
the rock below.
The scientist predicts that
the object could be made up
of material less susceptible
to erosion than its
surroundings.
The picture was taken on
January 30, according to
news report published in
Daily Mail.
In a statement the space
agency said Curiosity used
both percussion and
rotation to bore about 0.8in
into the Mars rock as a test
in advance of a later full
drilling to collect samples.
Completion of this "mini
drill" test was confirmed in
data from Mars received late
Wednesday at NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory in
Pasadena, California.
Mission scientists will now
assess the drill cuttings
around the fresh half-inch
diameter hole to determine
whether they are suitable
for processing by the
rover's on-board lab.
