Looks volcanic.

[shynung]

We should send a rover there.

Aliens, obviously. I'm surprised NASA let is slip through the cracks, as this is normally hidden by the usual zionist/illuminati/masonist coverup

Usually super efficient.

ontopic: definatly looks volcanic to me!

You should have cited some of the article along with the image, for those speculators out there -

"... The circular feature is nearly 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) wide. It looks like a circular island surrounded by a "sea" of smooth-looking lava flows. The Athabasca region contains some of the youngest lava flows on Mars. Therefore, it is highly possible that volcanism played a role in creating this feature.

Perhaps lava has intruded underneath this mound and pushed it up from beneath. It looks as if material is missing from the mound, so it is also possible that there was a significant amount of ice in the mound that was driven out by the heat of the lava. There are an array of features like this in the region that continue to puzzle scientists." - http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA18932

And what is it you think you know of Masons? smh

Space cookie. We must investigate further.

NASA told us their findings of their sample return mission.

"It was tasty, but underdone and needs more salt. We will be mailing the martians a cook-book so that they can it RIGHT! It's a disgrace!!"

He added: "Oh, yeah. There's life on Mars. But it must be INCREDIBLY primitive!!"

NASA has reported that all rovers near the anomaly have suddenly gained weight.

It's hard to tell sarcasm or joking online. Can people please tell before hand.

It's an underground Martian ant colony that has been uncovered!

Not sure why, but this image screams "MELTED COPPER" to me. Obviously(?) it's not, but I can't help think it. Something about that texture and the reflectiveness... I sure ain't a scientist tho \_(o.O)_/

A giant nickel?

*Camera zooms out, slowly revealing the feature's true size. At first it looks like a gigantic metal building is next to it, until you realize it's just the leg of some lander we sent and the circular feature is only two inches across, being the lander's footprint*

that was my suspicion as well. Either that or it's been so massively edited to bring out details and textures that it's blown way out of proportion and anyone except the people who made it can't ever make out what it is meant to show.

Space cookies sound good though, give you a decent high

Ha ha.

I've become a "just the facts, mam" kinda guy. With the negative nellies on the forum lately, I choose to hide most of my light under a bushel basket. There's a clicky click there, which is pretty much a big quote. Plus I was scrambling to work.

Cheers

Space cookie. We must investigate further.

The rover must heat up a surface sample and determine its origin! Also, we could study how it interacts with a Minmus sample.

[DATALOG: S.N.A.C.K.S. Rover, Sol 4]

///The Minmus sample is beginning to melt around the Mars Anomaly sample as temperatures pass into the 25 degree Celsius range.

///The Minmus sample looks very creamy. There are various small bits in the Mars Anomaly sample that are beginning to melt, and the overall softness of the sample has increased.

///The Minmus sample is actively melting. The Mars Anomaly sample is now soft and pliable, with various bits of it becoming gooey. It is probably a conglomerate rock.

///Wow, this is looking good.

[MOVING SAMPLE INTO INTAKE INLET]

[sAMPLE MOVED INTO INLET]

///Mmmmmmm.

[REQUEST SENT: "Analyze with X-Ray Diffraction"]

///Nope, not now. My, this is tasty.

[REQUEST SENT: "Analyze with X-Ray Spectrometer"]

///Shut up and let me eat in peace, guys!

///*chewing noises*

[END OF DATALOG]

...yeah, a further investigation would go very nicely with a Minmus sample. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

This exciting development has increased celebrity endorsement of a Mars mission.

I'm actually thankful you posted that and not me... because I was going to. LOL!

Well, we know where the face is, don't we.

kinda looks like a weld spot

my theory is that it used to be welded to Mimas
