jostpuur said:The legs are not separate. It doesn't look like a walking being, unless it's a Mars Woman instead, and is wearing a skirt. I would like to know, however, how such a rock could be formed naturally. The arm doesn't look natural for a rock. I could more easily expect rocks of strange shapes in places where there is water.
It's a photochop.But a space fan spotted the figure, which was just a pinprick in the original photograph. It was blown up and posted on a website.
