New photos taken on Mars show a pair of rocks that have the internet speculating on what they look like, with some arguing the structures look like the fin of a shark and the claw of a crab.
The photos, released by NASA, were taken by a rover vehicle on the red planet. NASA asked social media users what they thought the pair of rocks looked like, with many saying they looked like a part of a crab.

Other photos of the red planet were released earlier this year showing the sky on Mars. The image released by NASA consisted of two pictures taken at different times of day stitched together, with NASA choosing two times of day to capture different perspectives of the landscape.

NASA intends to put humans on Mars somewhere between the late 2030s and early 2040s, paving the way for further space travel. The agency laid out a rough outline for its first human mission to Mars in 2022, in which it identified “50 points falling under four overarching categories of exploration, including transportation and habitation; Moon and Mars infrastructure; operations; and science.”
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said that he expects his company to put humans on Mars within the next decade.
