I came across this object while browsing the Mars Perseverance images and it does appear to be artificial in nature. What could it be?
Even in the raw image close-up you can see a black object which appears to have a screen similar to a cell phone which is attached to a black pivoted tube with a triangular shaped stand.
The object appears to be embedded or has been placed in the crevice of a rock, it even appears to be casting a shadow.
These kind of quirky anomalies maintain my fascination with the red planet, and I guess some of these objects could be explained away by some scientific nerd at NASA with spectacles and spots.
But I dare to dream, and as long as there is a rover on Mars snapping pictures, I will continue searching for anything out of the ordinary on the red planet.
