In a new photo from Mars, they saw a "cat"

In the photo from Mars, unusual objects and stones of a strange shape are found every now and then, resembling something very familiar. Not so long ago, the web discussed "noodleson the sand anddoorwayin the rock, and now everyone has switched to the "cat" found in a new picture from the camera of the Perseverance rover.

We are talking about a frame with an unusual stone. On the Web, he is compared to a cat that tucked its paws under itself and hid its tail, becoming like a "loaf of bread with its head."

“At least the cat rock will have something to eat, because the Curiosity rover will one day found a stone in the shape of a fish, ”they also joke on the Web.

All these amusing analogies are explained by the phenomenon pareidolia - the tendency of a person to notice familiar objects in random shapes. When it comes to images from Mars, the desire to see something strange and unusual becomes especially strong.

NASA's Perseverance rover is currently studying the delta of an ancient river that brought liquid water to Lake Jezero crater billions of years ago. It analyzes rocks and also collects samples that will be brought to Earth in the next decade.
