Title: WTF Buldings on Mars
Post by: atomic7732 on December 12, 2010, 08:37:33 PM
On Sol 2444...

The Rear HazCam of Opportunity Rover...

Imaged something extraordinary...

(http://marsrover.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/r/2444/1R345151840EFFAZIEP1301L0M1.JPG)

The one on the left looks like a ramada, the one in teh center looks like billboards, and the one on the right looks like a building...

It's not part of the rover, as it doesn't come in from the top, it is clearly it's own thing.

I have no idea what they are...

It's called a Photoshop, and OP fail.

Actually they are part of the rover. Do you see the dark gray? It looks like it should be part of the rover.

I thought that's the sky.

Wait now that makes sense... lol

It's not a Photoshop. It was on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover site.

A good look at the image makes it look like the buildings are tilted, and therefore not a building.  :P
