Here is the latest image from JPL



Like a rabbit in a hat, the identity of an oddity that looks like "bunny ears" in a picture from Mars has eluded the science and engineering teams. The public, also fascinated with the mysterious object, has asked in a slew of e-mails: What is it?...

3. Old news, alas!

It was widely discussed here about a week ago.

The thingy looked like a seed of some kind that sprouted -- and then it blew away. NASA assigned a tech specialist to keep track of it.

There's a lot of interesting rocks, though, that still defy explanation. It is my unscientific hope that some of these turn out to be fossils.
