There have been number of news about NASA's Curiosity rover spotting a woman, rats, yetis, faces or even elephants on Mars, but this time the rover has spotted something strange. As per the space agency the rover has spotted a 'Floating spoon' on the Martian surface.

This latest Mars oddity was spotted by members of the UnmannedSpaceflight. com forum in an image captured by Curiosity's Mastcam on sol 1089 of the mission on August 30. It looks like a spoon hanging in the air, just above the surface of some layered rock, they said.

But as Mars do not have any civilization, advanced or otherwise, therefore there could probably be a more logical answer this Mars pareidolia.

Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon that makes our brains interpret some kind of random visual stimulus as a familiar pattern or object, said experts. One of the very famous examples of space pareidolia is the 'Face of Mars', where a mesa (a hill) in the Cydonia region of Mars had the pattern of a human face in early Viking spacecraft observations.

But alter high resolution camera cleared the picture and showed that the face was nothing more than a product of some fortuitous shadows and psychological trickery.

Recent images sent back by Curosity are full of rocks of all shapes and sizes; the high-resolution imagery from the mission has been a hotbed of pareidolia, leading to numerous conspiracy theories.

One of the most recent theories includes a rock shaped like an iguana, which has taken social media by storm.
