Part 6/7:
The viral discussions were ignited by a post on social media showing a picture from January 2014, which depicted something resembling a door among Martian rocks. This led to a flurry of imaginative theories proposing it as a portal or tunnel leading to the planet's core.
The Scientific Explanation
However, as reported by Olhar Digital, NASA has clarified that these images result from a matter of perspective. The supposed "door" is merely an exaggerated photo of a tiny crack in a rock, measuring approximately 30 cm in width by 45 cm in length. This phenomenon is further explained by pareidolia, where the human brain sees familiar shapes in random patterns. It’s akin to seeing animals in cloud formations.
