"Apparently, they have spotted a ‘woman like’ creature on Mars with the help of their Curiosity Rover".My question is: At low temperature & cosmic radiation, along with low gravity can we find a living organism?
Is the above quoted lines was true? i have noted this news recently on facebook.
Tell me your suggetions?

This is a news story that seems to have been picked up by the mainstream media, for example, http://www.foxnews.com/science/2015/08/10/strange-figure-spotted-by-mars-curiosity-rover/ (also apparently not a trustworthy news source). Time has a nice explanation that this phenomenon is due to pareidolia, the tendency of our brain to recognize human-like forms from random patterns. This would not be the first example of pareidolia on Mars.
