Space observers have
spotted an odd object on Mars that looks like something Gandalf would carry.
The peculiar piece
resembles a wizard’s staff with its crooked upright stance.
It was seen by NASA’s
Curiosity rover, which has been traveling across the Red Planet for almost a decade now.
Fortunately, experts
think they know what it is — and it’s a lot less magical than you might hope.
According to the SETI
Institute, it is simply a piece of rock. And they have an explanation for the strange shape too.
The research group said.
“The spikes are most likely the cemented fillings of ancient fractures in a sedimentary rock,”
