A large "avocado" was spotted on Mars

Perseverance Rover sent a new funny photo from Mars. This time with stones that look like a cut avocado fruit without pulp. Although the bone is still there.

The image was taken on September 8 in the Jezero Crater, where NASA's Mars rover is currently searching for signs of ancient life on the Red Planet. It collects soil and rock samples that will then be sent back to Earth.

This is not the first time Perseverance has photographed an object familiar to earthlings on Mars. Earlier this year, the Mars rover captured a rock shaped like huge donut

In 2022, he sent images of "cats" And "bear muzzle». Continuing with the theme of animals, the rover once noticed rocky ledge, similar to the fin of a shark and the claw of a giant crab. But the latter hardly indicates the epic battle that once took place in ancient ocean on Mars. The wealth of familiar images can be explained pareidolia - a phenomenon in which the human brain sees familiar patterns in randomly formed patterns. Bad news for anyone hoping to have an avocado brunch on the Red Planet.
