People Seeing Life on Mars

Posted by michael on Friday February 6, 2004 @08:35AM from the eye-of-the-beholder dept.

Ward C. Diehl writes "Tech Central Station has an article detailing the latest round of Martian visions, over 100 years after Percival Lowell's canal 'sightings'. The article interviews astrobiologists, including Nobel laureate Richard Roberts, and one astronomer from the fringe. The latest photos from Mars Express, Opportunity, and Spirit are interpreted as sea shells, pyramids, Nasca-like lines, etc. and one truly freak-deaky crab claw. There's a great link list at the end of the article so we have a gallery these photos. Prepare to blow your Friday afternoon productivity!"

"Look Gloria, I'm telling you... this ship came crashing down, and started taking pictures... and then it drove off. It was a UFO from Earth! I swear!"

It's Friday and you're on /. Fair bet the Friday productivity can't be blown much more.
