: the result of some kind of strain on the rock breaking part of it off, perhaps given a helping hand by a marsquake or two.happened on May 4 of this year, and scientists are still working to pinpoint where exactly it happened and what caused it.
What's more, while the the door-like rock formation may appear to be full-sized in our imaginations, it's possible the cavity seen is only a few centimeters or inches tall in real life, though it's difficult to be certain from the picture.. The doorway shape is up towards the top of the composite image, a little to the left of the center.
The image was taken at a geological feature known as Greenheugh Pediment, by the Mast Camera on board Curiosity, on 7 May 2022. In the years that we've had access to close-ups of Mars from landers and orbiters, we've been treated to some trulyof the red planet: craters filled with ice, strange chevron-shaped rock formations, hollowed-out mountains and plenty more.
In terms of spooky discoveries in space that appear to resemble 'alien' structures, it's important we don't get too carried away with what grainy images can sometimes suggest.
