Is it a bear? A wolf? A doge? The internet has mixed opinions on an image released by NASA showing what looks like a bear’s face on Mars., which has been orbiting the Red Planet and sending back high-resolution photos for about 17 years, captured the image on Dec. 12. The orbiting camera is part of the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, known as HiRISE, which is managed by the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona.
When HiRISE shared the bear photo on Twitter, the internet had its own ideas about what the figure resembles. Some said it looks more like "Doge," the famed internet meme-turned cryptocurrency. Others posed that it’s an owl’s face.The galactic slam occurred at a harmless asteroid 7 million miles away, with the spacecraft named DART plowing into the space rock at 14,000 mph .
What it really is, researchers say, is a hill with a V-shaped collapse structure , two craters for the eyes and a "circular fracture pattern" that makes up the head."The circular fracture pattern might be due to the settling of a deposit over a buried impact crater," HiRISE researchers say.
