Photos Show Evidence of Life on Mars: Insect- and Reptile-Like Fossils & Living Creatures
Analysis of images from Mars rovers shows insect- and reptile-like fossils, creatures, according to Ohio University entomologist.
Dr William R O M O, who specializes in general and medical entomology, has spent several years studying photographs from the red planet that are available on the Internet. His research shows that we already have the evidence, courtesy of photographs from various Mars rovers, as scientists race to determine whether there is life on Mars. He discovered numerous fossils and living specimens of insect-like and reptile-like forms with structures similar to those of bees. At the Entomological Society of America's national meeting in St. Louis, Missouri, on November 19, 2019, he presented his findings.
R O M O S E R said, "There has been and still is life on Mars", noting that the images appear to show living and fossilized creatures. The Martian insect-like fauna exhibits a great deal of diversity and is interpreted as an advanced group because it shares many characteristics with T E R R A N insects, such as the presence of wings, wing flexion, agile gliding and flight, and variously structured leg elements.
According to R O M O S E R, despite the fact that the M A R T A N N T O V E R S, particularly the Curiosity Rover, have been looking for signs of organic activity, there are a number of photographs that clearly show the forms that look like insects and reptiles. Numerous images depict arthropod body parts like legs, antennae, and wings that can be distinguished from the surrounding area. One even appears to show an insect diving hard before pulling up just in time to hit the ground
While experimenting with various photographic parameters like brightness, contrast, saturation, inversion, and so on, each image was carefully examined. No content was removed or added. Rules utilized in R O M O S E R exploration included a striking departure from the surroundings, clarity of form, symmetry of the body, segmentation of body parts, a form that repeats, skeletal remains, and proximity of forms. Specific stances, proof of movement, flight, evident connection as recommended by relative positions, and sparkly eyes were taken to be reliable indicators of the presence of living structures.
According to R O M O S E R, "it was useful in facilitating the recognition of other less clear but nonetheless valid images of the same basic form" once a clear image of a given form was identified and described. An arthropod can be identified by its exoskeleton and appendages with joints. Traditionally, a single pair of antennae, six legs, and three body regions are all that are required to identify an insect as such on Earth. For an organism on Mars to be insect-like, these traits should also be true. The photos taken by the Mars rover show arthropod, insect-like forms on these bases
According to entomologist John R O M O S E R, the images depict creatures on Earth that are similar to bees or carpenter bees. According to him, distinct flight behavior was evident in numerous images. He claims that additional images depict a snake-like reptile
He stated, "The presence of nutrient and energy sources and processes, food chains and webs, and water as elements functioning in a viable, if extreme, ecological setting sufficient to sustain life on Mars implies the presence of higher metazoan organisms". I've seen signs of standing water or small water courses with obvious meandering and the usual blurring of small submerged rocks, larger emergent rocks at the atmosphere/water interface, a moist bank, and a dry area beyond the moist area. There have been numerous reports of water on Mars, including surface water detected by Viking, Pathfinder, Phoenix, and Curiosity instruments.
He continued, "The evidence of life on Mars presented here provides a solid foundation for many additional significant biological, social, and political questions". Additionally, it serves as a solid justification for additional research
