20. Could be a Return of the Mysterious Martian Bunny
Mars Opportunity: Hopping along the 'Bunny' trail
By Tariq Malik, SPACE.com

When Opportunity opened its panoramic eye on Mars for a snapshot that proved its landing a success, scientists in charge of the mission cheered. But the image managed to furrow the brows of researchers too, for included in its sweep of the Martian landscape at Meridiani Planum was a small object that looked remarkably like a set of bunny ears...



http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mars_bunny_040310.html

-----------------

Cameras lost sight of the bunny until, tragically, it reappeared under the rover, leading to cries of "OMG! They've run over the bunny! You bastards!"



-----------------

Fortunately, it appears to have not only survived, but hopped all the way to the North Pole.

Anyone have high-res image analysis tools so we can get a a better look at this?

Although I believe it could be part of the craft's descent mechanisms, it would be nice to settle it once and for all.

59. Nevermind that! What about the two pyramids in the foreground?
When you combine that with the Mars face. Is Mars the last planet mankind destroyed before comming to earth? Could Mars (God of War) be Eden? Michael guards it's gates with a flaming Sword. Mars Surface temperature is about 800 degrees. Intereting. Very interesting.
