Flower on MARS


CURIOSITY rover on Mars
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) had sent a Car sized robotic Rover exploring Gale Crater on Mars as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL). It was launched on 26th November, 2011 and landed on Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater on Mars on August 6, 2012. 
Recently the Curiosity Rover have found out and Extraordinary thing to look at.

A peculiar petal-shaped cluster spotted on Mars by NASA scientists has Sparked Speculation that flowers might be blooming on the Red Planet.

This so-called "Martin Flower" is seen in an image captured by NASA's Curiosity rover in end of December'2012. In the Image, pearl colored petals appears to sprout from a rock's surface.

Space fans on online discussion forums remarked that it might be quartz embedded in the rock. One optimistic commenter suggested it might be the pistils of a blooming flower, the New York Daily News reported.

A similar find in October last year had turned out to be a piece of plastic that had fallen from the rover itself.

"But the cluster appears to be part of the rock," NASA spokesperson Guy Webster told the Daily News in an email.

"I would guess that the 'flower' was someone's descriptive term for its appearance, not meant as an interpretation that flowers exist on Mars," he wrote.

Another point I would like to introduce to you is that "Curiosity rover has found the soils on MARS similar to soils of HAWAI."

Lets hope for the well-being of mankind and may Curiosity finds a signs of life on MARS...
