A NASA camera on Mars has captured what appears to be artificial light emanating outward from the planet's surface.

The photo, beamed millions of miles from Mars to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., was taken last week, apparently by one of two NASA rovers on the red planet.

I tend to agree with your position.

Amazing image isn’t it?

2X2L calling CQ . . . 2X2L calling CQ . . . 2X2L calling CQ . . . New York. Isn’t there anyone on the air? Isn’t there anyone on the air? Isn’t there anyone . . . 2X2L —

Thank you for keeping us up to date on the Grovers Mills affair.

These guys are working on it:

Today earth is in inferior conjunction for an observor on Mars, but I doubt he/she/it would see the earth transit the disk of the sun.

Probably not, but I shot this one of the transit of Venus in June of 2012...

[Verginius Rufus]

Excellent. I tried to see the transits of Venus in 2004 and 2012 but didn’t have any luck either time. I don’t expect to be alive for the next one.

Everyone... calm down--

I was just lighting... my cigar--

So move along... nothing to see here.

Okay, y'all think... they bought that?

If not, Bendy, I can make... a few adjustments on the rover when it swings by!

Hello, saw your light. My name is Daffy and Barack Obama sent me... I am here to make sure all 7 million of you that signed up for ObamaCare get your premiums paid by the government.

Oh Mother... Ducker!

Had issues framing/tracking it just prior while setting up the shot. I got very lucky and barely caught the black drop effect as the transit started across the surface.

The real question is why the left camera didn't catch it. They are a few inches apart.

[dragnet2]

Good point...

I suspect we’ll be hearing more about this image soon.

Troubling part to me also.

That would point to camera artifact, but don't see how it could be that with the second picture presented.
A camera artifact could not have maintained the same topographical position with rover and camera movement.
A mystery.

Watched Robinson Crusoe on Mars a couple nights ago. Reminds me of the fire balls that seemed to roam around the terrain in that movie. Just a thought. Something venting from the ground here.

[dragnet2]

Great old movie...As a kid I was totally mesmerized...Wanted to build my own rocket and launch..

[virgil]

Me too. It’s fun to watch if you like the old science fiction movies. Loved it.

I’m sorry, we only offer Tourist.
Unless of course you prefer Cargo,
but we don’t reccomend that, it’s not
as nice as tourist, and you would have
to supply your own air.

[tet68]

Similar things have happened before with other scientific photos.

Oh yes, that’s what THEY told you.

How do you ever know?
How do you ever really know?
Sigh!

[Atlas Sneezed]

Here's mine (I included the limb of the Earth in the shot):

[dragnet2]

Wow...very impressive.

[dragnet2]

Where was the taken from?

[George from New England]

It’s flight 370 !!
