A rock in the shape of a robot boot
It’s legitimate to wonder whether even the experts at NASA and other space agencies feel the same perplexity as we do when confronted with some of these images. These unusual photos of Mars can sometimes make it difficult to identify objects as anything other than what appears at first glance. For example, consider this rock that appears to be shaped like a robot boot. In 2019, many people were convinced that this was the case when they first saw this image. The shape of this rock does indeed evoke that of a robot boot, which may explain why some people may have concluded that it belonged to a robot. However, once again, it was simply a rock with a peculiar shape

This South Pole formation looks like Mr. Peanut
As we take a closer look at the South Pole of the Red Planet, it becomes harder and harder not to be struck by the resemblance to bacteria. Some of the strangest images of Mars come from precisely this region, and this is apparently the result of processes involving the sublimation and condensation of carbon dioxide. These phenomena have the effect of widening or filling depressions, and they occur particularly on steep slopes and flat areas, giving rise to curious formations. Some have compared the shape of one of these formations to that of Mr. Peanut, noting that it resembles the beloved mascot carrying a baby peanut. The analogy seems apt, especially as Planters made the decision to retire the character in 2020 and replace him with a baby peanut.
