As far as the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of NASA is aware, Mars does not yet have any spinning mills.
So, some social media users were curious about the picture of what appeared to be a little Martian tumbleweed.
On Tuesday, July 12, or Mars Day 495, the pictures were captured.
The images were taken by the Mars Perseverance rover’s Front Right and Front Left Hazard Avoidance Camera A.
Last week, one was chosen as “Image of the Week” by the general population.
The stringy clump is believed to be mission-related debris, and this is the widely held theory. A NASA representative verified this in an email to Gizmodo.
Debris had already been captured on camera by “Percy.”
NASA will commission an “absolutely necessary” study of UFOS as part of its ongoing search for extraterrestrial life.
A fragment of a thermal blanket that might have originated from the rover’s descent stage was discovered, according to a tweet from the Perseverance team in June.
According to JPL, the shiny piece of foil is a component of a thermal blanket, which is a material used to regulate temperatures. “Finding this here is unexpected: My descent stage crashed approximately 2 km away. After then, did this piece fall here or was it carried by the wind?”
Also on July 12, the team reported that the rover has taken its ninth sample of rock from a core.
