No, NASA Does Not Plan To Send ‘Nude Pics’ into Spaceīell III, James F., et al.Was a Mars Rover’s Final Message to NASA ‘My Battery Is Low and It’s Getting Dark?’.Does This Photo Show a Hole Drilled on Mars?.Want more fact checks about weird and wacky Mars rumors? Check out these: As such, we rated this claim as “Miscaptioned.” So, while the Reddit post displayed an authentic photo captured by NASA's Mars Curiosity rover, the photo did not show either a portal or an artificial wall. While we can't say for certain whether Martians indeed used itty-bitty, little doors, NASA was sure that the “door” in this instance was just a small rock crevice.
It’s very small and looks like … a crevice in the rock,” the spokesperson wrote. “See it? You can zoom in with the +/- on the right side of the screen. The tiny “door” (crevice) can be seen roughly dead center, up a little, and a bit to the left. Neville Thompson, who is not affiliated with NASA, created the piece, which showed contents of the in-question image within the broader marscape. NASA media relations team also referred us to a publicly available, digital mosaic of photos that the rover also captured. The "door" image was captured on May 7, 2022, which is also Sol 3466 - the 3,466th solar day on Mars, or a Mars-day. The photograph was taken by the Mast Camera ( Mastcam) outfitted aboard Curiosity, a system that uses fixed-focal length, multispectral imagers to capture “true color” images of the red planet and beyond. "They said there are linear fractures throughout this outcrop, and this is a location where several linear fractures happen to intersect." “The team’s scientists underlined just how small is: roughly 30 centimeters wide and 45 centimeters across (11 by 17 inches)," a JPL spokesperson said via email. That was because while something depicted in the grainy, black-and-white version of the photograph taken by a camera aboard the rover could be interpreted to resemble the shape of a door, the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) told Snopes that it actually was a “very, very, very zoomed in shot of a tiny crevice in a rock.”
