Man discovers "structure" on Mars

Armchair astronomer David Martines discovered what he believes to be a building on the surface of Mars.

Nicknamed "Bio-Station Alpha", footage of the structure has become an internet hit with over 200,000 views on Youtube. The object is allegedly 700 feet long and 150 feet wide and was originally spotted by Martines while browsing the Google Mars service.

An American 'armchair astronomer' claims he has discovered a strange structure on the surface of Mars while browsing Google. David Martines was scanning Google Mars when he discovered the long white edifice and has even listed the coordinates (49'19. 73"N 29 33'06. 53"W) so others can see it for themselves.

Anyway, I was bored yesterday and felt like playing at armchair CSI and decided to investigate this Bio Station Alpha (BSA) further. One thing I noticed is that earlier in this thread, somebody posted an image of the original Mars Express imagery that had the glitch of a row of white dots. Since then there was vague accusations by some members of images being manipulated by looking at the date that a website that was hosting the images said they were modi... [More]

My pleasure. I enjoy messing around with stuff like this. There's an absolutely amazing amount of Mars imagery available for public usage on those servers. But like I said you'll need NASA's own NASAview software to make sense of the images and export them as readable images - and it's almost unusably unstable on Mac, I had to try several times to export the images I wanted before success because it was crashing every 30 seconds, perhaps the Windows version is much better. Those who would accuse NASA of covering up findings from Mars should do their research properly and us... [More]

It's still just a tiny bit droopy though, isn't it? (the one on the right)

Are you saying that Bio Station Alpha needs a lil' more lead in its pencil?
