The discoveries made beyond our planet are usually of interest to users of social networks. And this time was no exception since a photograph of Mars demonstrated a particular finding.
As reported by the Mirror, NASA discovered strange structures resembling a "dragon bone". The images were captured by the Mars Curiosity Rover and appear to protrude from the surface of the "red planet".
These findings were made on April 1 and instantly generated a debate on social networks, as some were inclined towards somewhat fantastic options, such as that it was a dragon-like creature or also fishbone fossils.
At the same time, there are other, more realistic hypotheses that indicate the possibility that the Martian winds could have eroded the rocks for a long time, which is why they took that form.
Astrobiologist Nathalie Cabrol, who has been researching the "red planet" for years, was emphatic in pointing out that "in 20 years of studying Mars, this is the strangest rock I've seen in my life."
Likewise, the expert stressed that "I can't wait to have a microscopic image of it."
Other users of social networks joined the debate and thought that it could be a fish vertebra, fish fossils, and even the skeleton of a prehistoric creature.
It should be noted that Curiosity is a rover that is the size of an ordinary vehicle, and that in recent times it has been exploring the Gale crater on Mars, as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission.
