5. Did a Martian leave his breakfast spoon floating in mid-air on Mars? No, it’s another rock.
Could a floating spoon on Mars be evidence of alien life? On NASA’s Curiosity rover’s 1,089th day on Mars, it captured an image of a spoon-shaped object seemingly floating in mid-air. The floating spoon even left a shadow below it.
NASA researchers determined that the floating spoon was just a rock. The unique shape of the spoon was caused by wind erosion. Like many of the objects that have been photographed before, this one is an optical illusion. However, it would still be fascinating to see items that resemble what we use on Earth present on other planets.
