Amateur astronomer claims to have spotted a real “mouse” on Mars

According to a video recently posted by YouTube channel, ArtAlienTV on 1st November, Joe White, an amateur astronomer, believes he has spotted a mouse on Mars.

He claims that a picture captured by NASA’s Curiosity Rover that appears to show a mouse on the surface of Mars, near the ridge of the 154-kilometer-wide Gale Crater.

As of yet, no official announcement has been made about the picture, but Joe White, who is also the owner of the ArtAlienTV, says that the creature definitely resembles a mouse and” and could be up to three feet long.

In his post, he wrote: "A possible very large mouse or other rodent on Mars in Gale Crater sitting on a ridge plain as day."

However, he later added, "It is probably an optical illusion but seems to have big ears, nose and eyes visible. It resembles a very large mouse or jerboa in appearance."

This is not the first time that news of an odd finding on Mars has excited masses. Ever since the news about spotting a supposed face on Mars went viral decades ago, various pictures have continued to awe people sparking a hope of life on the “red planet.” However, it was later revealed that those images were manipulated by a NASA astronaut named Carl Sagan, much to the dismay of the larger public.
