An amateur astronomer reviewing NASA photographs from Mars thinks he’s identified a strange creature:

“…an amateur astronomer believes he may have spotted evidence of a real-life rodent race on the Red Planet, after trawling through images captured by NASA’s Curiosity rover.

According to a video on YouTube channel ArtAlienTV, a picture that appears to show a giant mouse scurrying across the surface of Mars was taken by the rover’s right-hand mast-cam at 04:46 on November 1, last year, close to the ridge of the 154-kilometer-wide (96 miles) Gale Crater. While no official announcement about the discovery of alien mice on Mars has yet been made by NASA, Joe White, who owns ArtAlienTV, says that the creature is “plain as day” and could be about “two or three feet [60 to 90 centimeters] long.”

Plain as day?  What do you think: has the publisher of ArtAlienTV spotted an extraterrestrial animal?

That’s your sense of humor…I hope 😉 Mars is a no-mouse zone. 🙂

This can only be a mouse if there’s cheese on Mars. And everyone knows cheese is from the moon. So no mouse!
