ROVER CURIOSITY | Bowl/Semi-Spherical Object Photographed on Sol 4505

Two photographs taken by the Rover Curiosity are analyzed here:

Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4505 (2025-04-08 23:35:46 UTC) and Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4503 (2025-04-07 00:39:02 UTC).

Featured here is a semi-spherical object I discovered in these two photographs taken by the rover. I estimate to be about 12 to 15 cm in diameter.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE | My 2024/25 Mars Anomalies Methodology

I received a number of requests to put together a comprehensive guide covering topics like:

i) How do I find anomalies on Mars
ii) How do I process NASA photographs
iii) How do I use image upscaling software
iv) What software tools/apps I use

This guide is the step-by-step methodology I use, you may follow any other methodology that works for you (this is just an example).

Software tools/apps I use:

i) Google Earth Pro (includes Mars)
ii) NASA’s HiView Image Viewer (JP2)
iii) Paint Shop Pro (any other image processing software will also work, e.g. GIMP, Photoshop, etc.)
iv) Topaz Labs Gigapixel (you can use any image upscaling software that works best for you)

These are the software tools/apps I use, you can chose any other tools/apps that suite your requirements (this is just an example).

Important Websites referenced:

ROVER CURIOSITY | Fourth Sphere Found on Mars (Sol 4496)

This image was taken by Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4496 (2025-03-30 20:20:47 UTC).

Featured here is a fourth sphere I discovered on Mars in a recent Curiosity photograph. The four spheres were photographed by Curiosity over the past four months. All four spheres are about the same size and shape. Unlike the “Blueberries” NASA discovered years ago, these are huge in comparison and are they not clumped together.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these anomalies might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Possible Floating Tic Tac Object Spotted on Sol 2692

This photograph was taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 2692 (2020-03-03 02:32:29 UTC).

Featured here is a strange out-of-place Tic Tac-shaped object that appears to be floating/hovering above the Martian surface. I estimate the object to around 12 cm to 20 cm in length. Regardless of whether or not this object is floating/hovering or not, it’s shape is very intriguing.

Thank you to: @allseeingfungeye, who brought this to my attention on 13 March 2025. ThirdPhaseofMoon also featured this anomaly. I don’t know who first discovered this anomaly, herewith a shout-out to that person.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | A Closer Look at the Rubble Piles on Sol 4471

Featured here is a closer look at the strange out-of-place rubble piles recently photographed by the Rover Curiosity. This photograph was taken by the Chemistry & Camera (ChemCam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4471 (2025-03-05 01:41:50 UTC).

This region of Mars is littered with flat sized/right-angled boulders, however here and there are small rubble piles which initially remind me of coprolite, i.e. fossilized feces or dung. The close-up photographs of these rubble piles, however now reveal objects that resemble barnacles.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Strange Splotch Spotted on Side of Boulder (Sol 1267)

Featured here is another orange coloured object photographed by the Rover Curiosity. This photographs was taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 1267 (2016-02-28 18:20:29 UTC).

This reminds me of a similar orange coloured splotch taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 710 (2014-08-05 13:25:07 UTC). Note the green smudge-like material next to the orange object which reminds me of moss-like material.

Could these by similar objects; mineral deposits or lifeforms (e.g. fungus/fungi)?

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Photographs Another Spherical Ball (Sol 4456)

Featured here is another spherical object photographed by the Rover Curiosity. This photographs was taken Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4456 (2025-02-17 17:48:29 UTC).

This is one of three spherical objects about the same size and shape recently photographed by the Rover Curiosity. I estimate these objects to be about 12 to 14 cm in diameter.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Photographs an Additional Two More Blocks (Sol 4453)

Featured here are two new blocks/slabs photographed by the Rover Curiosity. The blocks are not small when compared to the rovers wheel visible near the blocks.

I also feature a block with what looks like rust or eroded away plater/cement-like material on the one side.

Could these be an intelligently made or just a product of some natural geological process?

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

The following photographs analyzed here were taken by the Rover Curiosity and Original NASA Sources:

DISCLAIMER: Many or all of the anomalies/artefacts covered in this presentation may be naturally occurring geological features caused by some type of geological processes, however due to the lack of specific information from the source we can only speculate whether these are all natural or some artificial in nature.

In cases where I say an anomaly looks like something I’m attempting to clarify what I see and not specifically that the anomaly is what I say it looks like.

My intention is only to share anomalies I’ve discovered on Mars and not to convince anyone that there is or was a civilization on Mars.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Strange Artifact Spotted on Sol 4439

The photograph analyzed here waw taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4439 (2025-01-31 03:30:00 UTC).

Featured here is a spherically-shaped anomaly with two symmetrical holes on the top. I estimate the sphere to be about tennis ball sized, although it could be larger (there is no scale reference so it is difficult to say for sure).

Could this be an intelligently made artifact/sculpture or possibly a fossilized shell?

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.
