Bigfoot Print On Mars
Here’s one of the first pictures taken of the ground below the Phoenix Mars Lander:
Mission scientists are calling it “Yeti.”
OK, so it’s actually a mark left by the robotic arm’s scoop. It was made so that the techies could see that the arm was working properly before actually digging into the surface to look for evidence of water. This is also important for research to determine if a manned mission would need to carry water, which is of course quite heavy.
More fascinating images and reports are up at the NASA site.

Did you have to let us know what it was right away?
You could have left your readers in suspense a little longer…it would have been interesting to see what would come of such a story circulating around the internet

Very good point, uth! It all depends on whether we believe the very convenient explanation provided by NASA. But who knows what really left that footprint on the surface of Mars…

La Lune,
Sorry, but I think people would have figured it out with a click or two. Good idea though–next time something like this pops up I should let others figure it out and see what sort of reactions come up.
