UM-Bot Posted December 3, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Does this NASA photo from the rover Opportunity show a wooden log on Mars? Hard to tell? Then look at the zoomed-in image, and ask again: is this a log (petrified or otherwise) on the surface of the Red Planet? Duh. No. But if you read some websites, you might think it is.

Dakotabre Posted December 3, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'm not saying it is a log, or isn't a log!! But I can see how people might think it is. How does the rovers work anyway? I assume it takes photos then it take a day or so for those images to get back to earth?? (Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'd like to know) If thats the case, it's a shame that they can't get images or video in 'real time' so that when interesting things appear like this 'log' lookalike or that 'mars bigfoot' image showed up, they could then go straight over and check out the object straight away to confirm all doubt and speculation, rather than looking back on an old image and thinking 'what is that?'.

bee Posted December 3, 2008 #13 Share Posted December 3, 2008 For one thing, this photo is from 2005. Had any scientist studying Mars seen this and thought it was actually wood, I think they would have said something by now. Errrrrrr or maybe NOT...if it was 'classified'. If it is very, very, very, very (x 10,000) old wood?? maybe it's a bit of Noah's Ark that was discarded when it was being built.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harks Posted December 3, 2008 #15 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I find it a very sceptical view by the author, with no real evidence to back it up just his speculated opinion. What a load of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to know the time, but from what I remember its between 40 and 80 minutes, most likely lower than 80. I think its also 25 or so hours in a martian day.

I know we wouldn't hear much either, but it would be good to have some sound recordings other planets too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
