This picture shows a shiny polished metallic tip on what looks like an eroded rock. According to NASA this can happen when wind and sand erode softer rock away from around the core of a harder rock, exposing this kind of projection.

This is a close of of the rock projection. At the tip you can see the area that has been polished and is metallic looking. Almost looks like a mini parabolic dish…hmmmmm :^). Anyone ever watch Twilight Zone…the miniature aliens….well, ok this is just an unusual formation of rock. It is very interesting and unusual.

  1. Why is it just about everyone in America owns a decent HD camera but NASA is still using 1970’s technology for the most expensive one time only photo’s of Mars?
