Lots of intelligent thoughts on this thread ....lol. Probably just cosmic rays anyway in the end.

nasa is saying it's "probably" a glitch in the camera system, a few stray photons that hit the lens oddly...

Thanks bud. Yeh sounds like thats what they are saying. Love watching the images that havnt been seen ever really. Studying it makes me wonder if anything coukd have lived there ever.. when there was water billlions of years ago..

Take a few minutes to look at the image of the curiosity looking back at the 2 stars looking back at earth and the moon. If you didnt know it was earth...you would never know there was7 billion people on it.....

Now look at all the other stars in which there are supposedly more stars and planets than grains of sand on the earth in the ^known^ universe.

It doesnt take long to figure out that that there is life somewhere..... . or we are even more important than we thought we was.. and we may as well be the center of the universe.

Not always good on my numbers but Its pretty inevitable we will find so ething else one day. Intelligent or not.

i think there is still water there...
