Shiney Thing on Mars
Like the ‘mystery’ shiny thing Curiosity spotted in October 2012 that was nothing more than a piece that had fallen off the Curiosity crane when it was setting down Curiosity, another shiny thing lodged in a rock has been spotted. The mission scientists haven’t yet explained it. The image of the shiny bit was acquired when Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera at the Robotic Arm took some close up photos of the surface of a rocky outcrop called “Yellowknife Bay” on sol 132 of the mission (December 19). This bright object could be seen in one of the raw images uploaded to the mission’s website.
It was first reported on AboveTopSecret.com where it shook upt things and caused quite some discussion.
Reporters assumed it was just another piece of litter accidentally dropped from the rover. However, this isn’t the case. On putting the question to NASA spokesman Guy Webster, it appears initial analysis has confirmed it is partof the rock and not something dropped on top.

Earthquake monitor with a antenna embedded in glass for long term monitoring and a 'screw fit' top to replace the antenna should it malfunction due to dust storms. There'll be thousands like that and a few guys acting as a maintenance engineers.

I don't think I'd be shocked if they found fossilized sea shells on Mars.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I'd be fascinated. But I doubt that's a shell.

No that' snot a shell, yes I'd be fascinated, but I wouldn't be shocked.

Where is the shiny thing? What could it be? Melted silica? Remains of an alien spacecraft?
Something remotely interesting?
