Friends who have seen Martian photos must know how desolate the surface of Mars is, there is no grass, no drops of water, yellow sand and rocks everywhere, but even if it is so desolate, we are still full of curiosity about the Martian world more than 200 million kilometers away, and one question after another follows.
When did Mars ever appear? Has life flourished in the Martian oceans? Did the legendary Martians ever dominate the Martian world? Will humans be able to establish the first alien colony on Mars? Is there a mouth-watering rare substance on Mars?
In 2019, American entomologist William Romoser gave a stunning speech at the annual meeting of the Entomological Society of America, saying that there are not only live insects on Mars, but also a large number of insect fossils, and publicly displayed multiple photos of Mars as "evidence" because the rocks on the photos resemble earth animal insects.
In fact, the "evidence" presented by William Romerser is not evidence at all, but just ordinary rocks on Mars, there is no rainfall on Mars, there is no water flow, but there is wind and sun, and the temperature changes, and it is not surprising that the rocks are eroded into various strange shapes.
Recently, another person who claimed to be an expert took out a photo of Mars taken by the rover in 2021, saying that this photo 100% proved the existence of Life on Mars. So let's take a look, what does this martian photo show?
There was no water, no plants, no animals, only yellow-brown sand, constantly differentiating gray rocks, and feminine sunlight, more desolate than the Great Northwest Gobi Shoal, this is the Martian world, a place that is really not a place for people to stay, but a rock is very eye-catching.
On a flat rock covered with a layer of yellow sand, it seemed as if a man was lying on his side, still lying on his side, wearing dark pants and a dark top, but the top had faded halfway, revealing light-colored underwear, one hand with his arm on the rock, his palm supporting his head, and the other hand as if half-inserted in his trouser pocket, as if looking at the rover ahead, as if deliberately posing, waiting for the human rover to come and take a picture.
That's why the "expert" said that this photo 100% proved the existence of life on Mars, is this really the case?
Needless to say, this is indeed a fake color photo of Mars, provided by NASA for free, but it is not a mars photo, but a large hd Mars photo spliced together from dozens of photos, with a sharpness of 3.09 gigapixels, 118816x26010 pixels, and a size of 396.1 inches X 86.7 inches, which is obviously much wider than the field of view of ordinary photos.
Who took this huge HD photo of Mars? Is it Mars Curiosity, or Mars Zhu Rong? In fact, the world's most advanced American Mars Perseverance was photographed in April 2021, the 59th Martian day after the Perseverance rover landed at Jezero Crater on Mars.
On the 59th Martian day, the rover Perseverance moved east, and the Perseverance landing site was to the west of Jezero Crater, so the oversized high-definition Mars photos showed the view of the central part of Jezero Crater, but this was not the area that Perseverance planned to explore.
Although the photo is certainly true, but the "person" on the photo is not real, can only say that it looks like a person, in fact, it is not a real person, according to the photo, the pattern like a person should be just a raised object, under the illumination of the sun, showing a shadow part that looks like a person.
There are a large number of rocks on the surface of Mars, the rock is gradually decomposing into yellow sand, in the process of decomposition and fragmentation, occasionally showing an animal-like shape, whether it is the insect fossils referred to by American entomologists, or now the rover Perseverance has found a human-like pattern, in fact, it is rock, and there have been human-like rocks found before. So, what the rover Perseverance photographed was nothing more than the shadow of a stone.
Although the biggest mission of the Chinese Zhurong rover, the American Curiosity rover and the Perseverance rover is to search for extraterrestrial life, as of today, there is still no definitive evidence of the existence of life, perhaps mars has never appeared life, we do not need to over-interpret these Mars photos.
As of February 6, 2022, the Perseverance rover has safely spent 342 Martian days on Mars, walked 3.34 kilometers, harvested 5 Martian samples, and then may go back, return to the landing site, and then head for the delta west of the mysterious Jezero Crater.
The delta west of Jezero Crater, like the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, is formed by the accumulation of soil carried by water currents, and if mars really existed, then the delta west of Jezero Crater is the most likely to be found, so the Perseverance mission is very much expected.
