Mystery image of 'life on Mars'
An image of a mysterious shape on the surface of Mars, taken by Nasa spacecraft Spirit, has reignited the debate about life on the Red Planet. A magnified version of the picture, posted on the internet, appears to some to show what resembles a human form among a crop of rocks. While some bloggers have dismissed the image as a trick of light, others say it is evidence of an alien presence. The image is a recent Nasa posting of the Spirit's landing in 2004. Perspective When the robotic rover set down on 24 January 2004, its images disappointed space-watchers hoping for signs of extraterrestrial life. Now they appear convinced that this image provides the evidence they have been trawling Nasa's photo files for. The blown-up image seems to resemble a figure striding among the Martian rocks. The internet has been abuzz with postings offering theories.
One said it was a garden gnome, another that it was the Virgin Mary. A third suggested Bigfoot, the hairy bipedal mountain beast that appears in various guises in a number of legends around the world. But the consensus seemed to be that it bore a striking resemblance to the Little Mermaid statue in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Poster "Madurobob" said it was a statue "obviously built by an ancient civilisation that later departed Mars and settled Denmark". Badastronomy.com tried to apply some perspective: "A man? It's a tiny rock only a few inches high. It's only a few feet from the rover!"

I think NASA is pulling an early April Fools joke on mankind with that humanoid like thing picture that the Mars Rover supposedly captured last November. Your thoughts?
