Image provided by NASA shows the impression resembling a footprint |
Does the above photograph suggest possible humanoid life on Mars? NASA is claiming that this footprint was actually created on Mars by the Phoenix lander.
"But scientists overseeing the project said today that the Phoenix Mars lander's robotic arm reached out the day before and left an impression that resembled a footprint", quotes www.news.com.au.
According to Space.Com: Phoenix performed the test dig Sunday in a spot just above a dent left by the scoop of its robotic arm when it first touched the soil on May 31. Researchers dubbed the dent "Yeti" because of its strong resemblance to a footprint.

"This first touch allows us to utilize the Robotic Arm accurately. We are in a good situation for the upcoming sample acquisition and transfer," David Spencer, Phoenix's surface mission manager from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in a statement. - from www.thelondonpaper.com.
