British media said NASA Cover-wood found on Mars

This photo shows the wheels on Mars and India, the rover had run over the timber-like objects
British media reported on December 3, NASA (NASA) Web site published in 2004 by a “Opportunity” rover back of the photo, however, the picture recently on the Internet led to “the existence of Mars Forest “argument: that, in this clear picture, there appears to be a” rotten wood “thing! This is the root of “rotten wood” Clearly it can not be taken to the rover on the surface of Mars. Some people think, NASA cover up to the world of “the existence of forest on Mars,” the truth; some people believe that this root wood in the shape of “man-made objects”, so that may exist on Mars, “prehistoric civilization”; also believe that the root of “rotten wood” may NASA is a spoof of experts to deal with photos from the “prank.” In the face of an avalanche-like Zhi Yisheng, a NASA expert in a recent interview, claiming that the root of “rotten wood” is actually a piece of wood appears to be no more than the Mars rock.

NASA says Mars conspiracy to conceal the existence of forest

In 2004, NASA’s “Opportunity” rover on Mars from “Endurance Crater” near the back edge of a photo of Mars, NASA this photo was published in the official website of its own database, clear pictures Show a “rotten wood” the same thing. NASA officials do not always due to the root of this “rotten wood” to provide any explanation on the Internet appeared in a variety of arguments.

Conspiracy theorists said that this “piece of rotten wood,” NASA official photographs apparently inadvertently leaked, NASA has Mars in the world to hide the truth! NASA Mars claimed was a “waste of the World”, on Mars there may be a large number of forest, the root “rotten wood” is one of the evidence. Conspiracy theorists said, suggesting this picture of Mars until recently, the existence of water, the root because it “rotten wood” may be the current drift to shun “Endurance Crater” near the edge, because it seems the root surface of the wood is still intact Therefore, it is definitely here to flow in the 40 years since the existence of a wood can not be tens of thousands of years.

Conspiracy theory supporters said, in the 1970s, the United States “Viking” Mars probe has photographed the surface of Mars looks like a number of “forests”, but NASA did the same to these “trees” to make any explanation.

Food, said NASA employees tampered with photos

Some Internet users to exclude the photos for the possibility of tampering with mischievous friends, this is because of the high-resolution photos on their own published in the official NASA website. If someone tampering with a photo of Mars, NASA may be within the prank. One possibility is that some NASA employees and the people of the world would like to open a joke, then used image-processing software produced by this photo.

In fact, if carefully watching this picture, you can find “a piece of rotten wood,” shows that the shadow of the sun almost straight at the “rotten wood” at the top of the “Opportunity” rover has revealed that the shadow of the sun in a different direction.

Experts said that the misunderstanding a “rotten wood” is a rock

Due to this photo on the Internet has aroused great controversy, the United States, “the universe today,” an interview with a NASA Web site rover panoramic camera, chief scientist at Cornell University professor Dr. Jiemubeier, in the face of an interview with reporters, Bell said the photo The “rotten wood” is a rock. Bell said: ” ‘Opportunity’ rover on Mars can often get this show on the ground, flat rocks. When I first saw this picture, I think, Oh, it looks like a really Wood, but then I want to: Oh, look how interesting piece of stone. “

Beierboshi said, NASA Mars can not hide the existence of the woods, or prehistoric civilization, “the truth” because NASA is a government agency that it hoped to create a new rocket, carrying astronauts to return to the moon or Mars, these plans and other space mission Require a huge budget.

NASA experts said on Mars in the past 40 years, there can be no movement of water, but do exist on Mars, the ancient glaciers. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been detected on Mars rock Duixia the existence of dozens of kilometers long of a huge glacier, but the glaciers may be 2 million years of history.
