Curious rover found a cockroach
NASA can not understand what kind of a mysterious contraption came to the attention of the rover "Curiosity". I do not whether the cockroach?
All operations on Mars temporarily suspended. And it is unlikely because of some bullshit
- We just do not know what it is! - Admit NASA. In other words, experts can not yet identify the object photographed by the robot "Curiosity" at their own wheels.
Recall the 61st Martian day (Sol 61 - October 7, 2012 on Earth) robot shovel scooped up Martian soil. The camera, located on the rod (Mastcam), captured this historic moment. The frame was filled with a scoop the size of about 5 to 7 centimeters of the robot and the surface on which it stands. And on this surface specialists NASA spotted an object that stood out from the surrounding background. No one, as they say, for language is not pulled. Sami said, well, we see near the "curiosity" something very strange - a bright object, they called it - bright object.
If NASA is not informed of this bright object, then it would hardly anyone noticed. Gizmo - a little more than a centimeter in length. But it aroused attention. Moreover - fear. Since discovering bright object specialists NASA suspended further operations. Not even began to overload the soil scoop from the analyzers for further study. While going to the next day.
Instead, the study of Martian soil at NASA attempted to identify the gizmo. To do this, it photographed close up with the help of special cameras for microphotography (ChemCam: Remote Micro-Imager). But it is not identified.
From a distance - shot over the bar - the object looked like a cog. And it was assumed that he fell off the robot. What actually scared - suddenly began to break down technique.
Close up of a bright object like did, I'm sorry too, or shrimp, or a cockroach. See for yourself.
According to common understanding of such large creatures on Mars should not be. Therefore, experts are looking for a plausible explanation. But it is not found. And sin, first of all, on the plastic piece that fell on the Martian ground.
- We're going in circles around the double "Curiosity," which remained on Earth - says one of the rover's drivers Scott Maxwell (Scott Maxwell), - we try to understand what is it that could fall off.
Fans of conspiracy believe: because of a tiny piece of plastic - because of some nonsense - would not have to suspend all works. So, the matter is serious. Perhaps, indeed found dead Martian cockroach? Or shrimp? And experts now think how to shift the discovery in the scoop. And we are trying to fool the head.
