Mysterious 'structure' discovered on Mars
« on: June 08, 2011, 12:08:36 AM »
View media video, etc. at : http://news.ninemsn.com.au/technology/8 ... ed-on-mars

An American 'armchair astronomer' claims he has discovered a strange structure on the surface of Mars while browsing Google.

David Martines was scanning Google Mars when he discovered the long white edifice and has even listed the coordinates (49'19.73"N 29 33'06.53"W) so others can see it for themselves.

Mr Martines posted a video of the 'station' on YouTube which has been viewed more than 200,000 times.

On the video, he talks through the discovery he has named "Bio-Station Alpha". "It's very unusual in that it's quite large, it's over 700 feet (210m) long and 150 feet (45m) wide. It looks like it's a cylinder or made up of cylinders," he says.

"It could be a power station or it could be a biological containment or it could be a glorified garage — hope it's not a weapon.

"I don't know if NASA even knows about this."

NASA and Google have yet to respond to media inquiries.

Uh they have responded and say that the 'structure' is a white noise streak caused by cosmic radiation. Your news source is either lagging bad or is unreliably sensationalist.

Yeaaaa...

That's likely just a streak caused by a cosmic ray streaking past the camera or perhaps a light colored mineral deposit on the surface, that got pixelated badly and mangled by googles image stitching and compression software.

I'd like to see the original unstitched source image.  What probe did it come from? Voyager? MRO?  an ESA probe.  Can't Google point us toward the source image?

Another poor attempt by NASA to secure billions in funding in order to blow it all on astronauts doing laps around the earth.  It's just about all they've done with my hard earned money since we stopped going to the moon and I fail to see the point.  Although I am for having more space telescopes.
