The First Billion-Pixel Mosaic of Mars

StartsWithABang writes In 2012, Mars Science Laboratory performed the first robotically-controlled soft landing of a vehicle of such incredible mass: nearly half a tonne. A few months later, the rover, Curiosity, took the first ever billion-pixel mosaic from the Red Planet's surface, with breathtaking views of the terrain and alternate views of what the soils would look like were they here on Earth. Now in its third year on Mars, Curiosity is roving the low slopes of its ultimate destination: Mount Sharp.

WTF

I want to punch whoever designed that page. You know you can scroll horizontally too in a web browser...

What is that?

Right there, do you see it? That small pixelated unrecognizable area next to that rock. Must be aliens.

Protip: If you zoom in on the pixelated area the evidence that it is aliens become clearer. The more you zoom the clearer it becomes.

Looked it over very thoroughly

and I've already found 3 signs of alien intelligence and a rare Martian Sasquatch footprint.
