Natural or Made?
A rectangular object found sticking out of Mars’s surface and caught on camera by the University of Arizona has caused speculation over the nature of the “monolith” and its origins.
“Captured by a high-resolution camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter last July, it resembled the black monolith from Stanley Kubrick’s movie 2001: A Space Odyssey,” writes The Daily Telegraph.
“But Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper reveals scientists at the University of Arizona, which captured the original image, insist it’s just a broken boulder,” writes The Daily Telegraph.
Veteran astronaut Buzz Aldrin recently stoked space conspiracy theory further by announcing that a similar “monolith” had been detected on Mars’s moon Phobos.
Calling for money to be pumped into space exploration, Mr Aldrin – the second man to walk on the moon – told US network C-Span that scientists should focus on Mars’s moon: “There is a monolith there, a very unusual structure on this little potato-shaped object that goes around Mars once every seven hours.
“When people find out about that, they are going to say ‘who put that there?’. Well, the universe put it there, or if you choose, God put it there.”
