Is there life on Mars? Yes, says the Spirit rover. Here’s a photo it snapped last November. It appears to either be an intergalactic Sasquatch, a Tusken Raider, a really tan naked guy, or some sort of rock statue near the base of what’s known as Tsiolkovski Ridge. My guess is that there’s probably an underground Whole Foods in the base of that cliff and this fella’s going to get a Jamba Juice before The Hills starts.
There’s a gargantuan TIFF file (133.4 MB) over on NASA’s website if you’d like to zoom in really closely.

It’s either a rock formation or a very small Yeti.

NASA says that’s only 14 feet away from the camera, so… you get the point.

Hey, the easiest way to confirm is to take another snap using the same co ordinates. Lets all hope we dont spot the greeny guy next time:-) That will keep alive our hope to spot an alien in our lifetime
