NASA’s Curiosity Rover snaps series of ‘selfies’ on Mars

Some recent images of the Martian surface taken by NASA’s Curiosity Rover purportedly showed a craft of some kind that UFO hunters claim could be the crashed wreckage of an alien ship, a media report said.

Curiosity Rover has been investigating the chemical make-up of Mars and is now analysing samples in its internal laboratories. After it finished drilling on the rock, it used the camera fixed on its robotic arm to capture multiple images that can be attached together to make a complete selfie image of the rover at the drilling site.

Since then, it has been exploring and studying the planet to determine its habitability. It is moving in a deep bowl known as Gale Crater.

Curiosity performed its latest experiment after suffering a short circuit as it drilled.

In the middle of the depression is a huge mountain dubbed Mount Sharp, and Curiosity is now climbing through its foothills. Silica is a rock-forming compound containing silicon and oxygen, commonly found on Earth as quartz.
