FOUND: One Martian Skull

Bong just waiting to happen

Ahhh, science. Master of the unknown once again.

When was the last time your Jesus found an alien corpse? Huh?

NASA's robot monster, Spirit, captured the above image while cruising the Mars strip.

Might it be a relative of the Jawa found January of last year?

From the Telegraph:

At first glance it looks like a rocky desert - but this image of the Mars landscape has got space-gazers talking.

An oddly shaped space boulder appears to show eye sockets and a nose leading to speculation it might be a Martian skull.

Internet forums are full of chatter about the picture, taken by a panoramic NASA camera known as Spirit.

One alien-spotter speculated: "The skull is 15 cm with binocular eyes 5 cm apart. The cranial capacity is approximately 1400 cc.

"There appears to be a narrow pointed small mouth, so this creature most likely is a carnivore."

Another joked: "The coronal ridge shows ample structure to support the musculature of antennae, although none are visible in this view.

"The nose area is broad and blunted as you would expect to see in a cold and windy landscape. Is he decapitated or is he buried up to his neck?"

When Galaxies Collide




From Wired:

To celebrate the 18th anniversary of the launch of Hubble, the Space Telescope Science Institute released 59 images of galaxies colliding. Rather than the staid and immutable image that galaxies have had in textbooks these images paint a remarkable picture of whirling, colliding, flirtatious galaxies that are crashing into each other or cozying up to produce new mega galaxies.

Although only one in a million of the galaxies closest to us are interacting, galaxies much further away (the light we are getting from them is billions of years old) are caught "in the act" more often. This is because there were more galactic collisions in the early universe, so looking farther away (which is also farther into the past) will increase your chances of seeing galaxies collide.

Jawa Found on Mars




Above is a photo that NASA's Spirit took while doing recon on Mars.

Some say it's a rock. Others say it's Bigfoot. Others say it's Osama.

I say wait and see if the figure tries to steal and then resell the Spirit. If so, it's def a Jawa.
