The most curious Photographs taken in Mars

Until now, Mars is maybe the most similar planet to planet earth, and that is the main reason why humanity is so interested on studying it… let’s face it, we may need it someday so we may as well know as much as we can about it! Here are some cool and curious photos taken in this mysterious planet.

The big red planet, the fourth one, and the one the humans want, Mars, has many secrets that are going to surprise you.

The scariest mysteries Of Mars

Pinterest.

While it is true that the universe has many unsolved secrets that people has been obsessing over with trying to figure and understand them out, the biggest challenge so far is for looking for life out our planet. The truth is that, even though we haven't been able to explore mars officially, many observations show us there is a lot to be discovered.

¿Life in Mars?

Pinterest.

The truth is that so much technology is being created to help achieve this research. NASA has announced that the first group of people to visit Mars will do it in 203o, and while they keep most details private, there are many rumors saying that they are getting ready for it. But does Mars have the adequate living conditions for humans to visit? Let’s check out some mysterious photos now...

Who took these photos?

Pinterest.

We know you want to see these mysterious photographs, but first you must know how and who took them. This is a photo of the robot that was created by the NASA to accomplish the most important mission, finding information on the red planet.

Pinterest.

On august 6th 2,012, when the Curiosity NASA Rover arrived to its destinatio (and ever since really), this little robot has been going around. It received some hits on its way to Mars, and in 2012 its mission got extended. Okay now lets see some cool images captured in this planet.

The shinning Light in Mars

Pinterest.

If you see this image really close you can notice a shining light at the end, which means Curiosiy is not alone. Although there has been many scientific explanations that could explain this photo, truth is we don't know for sure what that is. Some say that’s the proof of extraterrestrial life, and some others say that it has a less fictional explanation.

¿Then what is that shining light?

Pinterest.

The experts confirmed that it could be a cosmic ray, which is a particle fluid. Here on earth, we are protected from these thanks to our atmosphere. This image has a "rasonable" explanation. ¡Take a look!

Rock sculptures

Pinterest.

On September of the last year Curiosity surprised the whole world with an image that shows a rock sculpture and it had the shape of a traffic light. Obviously is not that, but the photo left us with a lot of doubt and curiosity. The shapes are very disctinctive, as if someone or something made it.

¿Was the Gorrilla fake?

Pinterest.

This is one of the most popular images of Mars, but also supposedly the fakest one. While many said it was a real gorilla, the specialists said it was just a simple rock. Weirdly it has the shape of a gorilla, like someone or something made it. Let’s continue with more...

¡There's trees in Mars!

Pinterest.

By time, images have been clearer, and we can see better details of the red planet, making us think there could be real life now, is there could be a chance of life existing at some point sometime in the future. Is incredible how similar this planet is to earth, and this image shows us that there are "trees" and some kind of life.

A giant Femur

Pinterest.

Nobody knows where it came from, and neither if it’s human or animal, but one thing is true, this is one of the biggest discoveries of mars. There is no way this is an optical illusion, we can see it clearly and perfectly, but experts are still on investigation. Wait till you see the next photo, apparently there is water.

¡A lake in Mars!

Pinterest.

In 2005 an UK scientist said that the image taken by Mars Express showed us that there is a giant frozen lake in Mars. Sometime after, rovers have found evidence of many water bodies.

Really similar to Egypt

Pinterest.

¿Coincidence? We don't believe it, but you can have your own opinion. If Pyramids are a mystery for us on earth, just imagine one on Mars, and what does that mean. Now we know where the Egyptians might come from.

¿What would you say if there are rats living on Mars?

Pinterest.

In such unexplored place is not hard to see so many odd things. But this photo made everybody go crazy, making people study a little bit more about this place and the possible plagues there. ¡scary!

¿Is this a subliminal advertising?

Pinterest.

Okay, so let’s pause and take a break of these crazy images we've been seeing. If you see closer at this rock, you can see a face, some said it looks like Barack Obama. It might be a subliminal advertising only or something more extraterrestrial.

This must be a coincidence

Pinterest.

Some of us are really sceptics and we don't believe many things easily or without proves, finding an explanation for everything. But this is more than just a coincidence; it looks like a real human... ¿what do you think?

An extraterrestrial version of the Thinker Statue

rodin-113551

The last image was investigates, and they couldn't find a logical explanation. Some said it just like the Thinker Statue, the original piece of art was made out of bronze. Can it be possible there is a replica in mars?

So many proves confirming there is life in Mars

pinterest.

After finding a big amount of Boron, many Hawaiian astrologists confirm that there was or is life in mars.

Carbon dioxide in Mars?!

pinterest.

Many NASA investigators detected fluid in the sand of mars, and they might think is frozen Carbon Dioxide, meaning we could live there!

¿Do you want to visit mars before anybody else?

Pinterest.

You can do it on your computer! There is a map called Mars Trek and it allows you to explore the red planet on Google earth, and you can even zoom on any area wanted, but that’s not all, you can also download the STL files and print them on 3D.

¿Are you ready for the future?

Pinterest.

With these and many other discoveries, technology and some other aspects we didn't mention, we will surely soon be receiving news about life in mars and possible your kids might live there. Welcome to the future!

Commercial Pilot in Russia

Air crashes are not as common as it used to be, but in Russia the situation is not exactly like that. In the last decade, 800 commercial jet pilots have died in this type of accident, a particularly high number considering that all were within the Russian territory.

Ship dismantling

It's one of the most dangerous occupations ever existing, with unacceptably high levels of deaths, injuries and related diseases. The dismantling of ships is the process of pulling apart the obsolete structure of a ship for the purpose of scrapping or disposal.

Why is it so dangerous to be a shipwrecker?

Ship dismantling is a highly polluting industry. Large quantities of carcinogenic and toxic substances (PCB, PVC, PAH, OTC, mercury, lead, isocyanates, sulfuric acid, etc.) are discharge into soil and coastal waters.

Lumberjacks in the United States

This profession is really dangerous, they daily run the risk of dying, and it's just that facing big trees is something complicated. Although they have safety measures, it is said that there are around 200 deaths from tree crushing per 100,000 workers..

A Miner

Although in the last years has decreased its practice and now only 1 percent of the global workforce, mining "only" 8 percent of fatal accidents at work are caused because of this. Accidents among workers are affected with disabling diseases such as pneumoconiosis, hearing loss and the effects of vibration.

Animal trainer

Who doesn't remember hearing about the terrifying story where the lion tamer lost his head, or any part of the body. Trying to tame ferocious animals can be very dangerous, especially for lions and tigers; Or even marine animals from

Is it dangerous to be a tamer?

If the tamer is good at it, he will make a special bond with the animal, and so becoming great friends and team work. If that doesn't happen, the animal will suffer abuse and stress, and it can trigger an attack. In any case, animals react to their instincts, attacking either the tamer or the public.

Being an offshore fisherman

Going to shore on your little boat may not be a big challenge or dangerous at all, but men and women who work on fishing boats are constantly risking their lives. These people are not only facing the weather but also the ocean.

Being a fisherman it's way too risky, but well payed

The high wind are constantly unleashing the moorings and so ropes shoot out with enough force to kill anyone on their way. In cold places you can slip overboard and end up drowning. There are also fatal accidents with the hooks.

Masons and house builders

What are the causes of their deaths?

Data from various industrialized countries show that construction workers are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from accidents, and in the developing world, the associated risks soar to 3 to 6 times higher.

Being a policeman in Mexico

In the last year 60,000 murders were reported, including several justice officials, because of the organized crime in Mexican and the constant attacks against the authorities. Apparently this is one of the worst jobs here.

Being a bus driver in Guatemala

In the last six years more than 900 bus drivers have been murder or killed in Guatemalan city. In addition, many pilots have quit their job since the state has only solved 5% of all deaths, not counting the cases of monetary extortion made by organized crime.

Agriculture: Thousands of workers die each year

Even the International Labor Organization recognizes how dangerous agricultural work it's in its Safety and Health in Agriculture Convention. According to ILO estimates that at least 170,000 agricultural workers die in the workplace each year, this means that agricultural workers are twice likely to die on their job place than anywhere else.

What are the causes of death?

Apparently the most common reasons are accidents with machinery, poisoning with pesticides or other agrochemicals.

Bus driver in Africa

The long and dangerous roads of Chad, Central Africa, claim the lives of more than 3 thousand people annually, the two main reasons are the bad conditions of the roads and the great number of assaults that occur along the route. This also happens in Latin America where drivers are extorted and killed.

Private Security Guard in Iraq

The hostile climate in that country and the constant danger from attacks has made this work increase a lot in the last year. In the final months of 2012, more than 7,000 private guards were registered, from which 121 were killed.

Journalism is on the list!

Being a journalist is too dangerous, although it also depends on the country and the area of work. Research journalists are generally the ones with the highest death rate., this is due to going to place where they should not go.

Why is journalism dangerous?

In some countries where corruption and criminality are very high being the one that captures and publishes all that is happening is really dangerous, since they are attacked too. War reporters are also at great risk of dying, especially if it is a country with conflict, as in the Middle East.

Cat Mourns Over Lost Canine Friend – Grab the Tissues!

Who says cats and dogs can’t get along? Even better, who would have ever though a cat and a dog could be best friends?

Vía pawbuzz.com

Just when we think that animals can’t be more compassionate and emotional, we come across this painstaking video that will have you sobbing in your seat.

Vía pawbuzz.com

Two weeks ago the handsome canine Charlie died of cancer, but his best friend Scout–the adorable kitty–has not forgotten about her doggie pal.

Mourning for his friend’s death, Scout’s owner–hoping to ease the cat’s pain–placed an iPad on the dog Charlie’s bed, an iPad which played videos of Charlie the dog.

Vía pawbuzz.com

She did this in hopes that the memory of the videos would bring poor Scout some peace. As the video played, Scout would curl up next to the iPad, much like she had always done with her friend Charlie when he was still alive.

Vía pawbuzz.com

Warning: this is hard to see and will hit you right in the feelers.

As humans, we are automatic to assume that animals cannot feel compassion or longing.

Vía pawbuzz.com

This video may very well show just how wrong we are . . . animals can mourn for a lost soul, too. Charlie was Scout’s brother, friend, protector, and Charlie and Scout’s friendship is one of a kind.

Vía pawbuzz.com

Charlie dog died of cancer 2 weeks ago. Scout Kitty loved him more than anything. She wanted to be aroun d him all the time. They were best buds. He was so gentle with her and let her do anything she wanted.

Vía pawbuzz.com

They’d even eat their meals together. She loved smelling his ears. Again, she loved smelling his ears. His face shows how much he loved it, too. Anywhere he went, she was right there with him.

Vía pawbuzz.com

There’s no doubt that Charlie took a piece of Scout’s heart and soul with him as he crossed over the rainbow bridge. Don’t worry, Scout, Charlie is probably thinking of you up in doggy heaven.

RIP Charlie.

Life

Old photographs that show us the funny side of people

We are used to seeing old photographs and thinking about how serious people acted and were in those times. Although it was the norm when taking photographs back then that no one smiled, some of them were taken seconds later and show us that it was not like that at all. Regardless of the situation and how difficult times were, people always seek to find a positive and fun side to everything. These are some pictures that will show you the happy side of that people.

Elegance in France

Google.

Their costumes and appearance of French people always make us think of etiquette and elegance, but we all need a moment to leave the seriousness behind and just smile, right?

Family picture

Google.

Although this photograph can be common now, years ago it was impossible to see something like it. We can definitely see a very united and happy family.

Here we have it again

Google.

It seems that Zar Nicolas II was the one who imposed that new challenge that everyone is doing in social networks. Hopefully they have not hurt themselves.

Russia’s emperor

Google.

Even the Emperor of Russia Zar Nicholas II joked in front of the camera before taking the official photo.

Costume exchange

Google.

This family decided to have a little fun and dress a little differently for the family picture. Not only now we wear costumes, people did it years ago as well.

Famous psychiatrist of the time

Google.

His name was Richard Von Krafft Freiherr and he was one of the most recognized psychiatrists of that era. Apparently that wardrobe was very uncomfortable for that specific temperature.

Ready to fall into the water?

Google.

Couple were not always romantic, they also knew how to play a little bit. Look how they prove it in this picture!

Flirting

Google.

Apparently "flirting" is nothing of this century since many years ago they have done it and we have even learned from them.

Selfie?

Google.

That image is very similar to a selfie today. No doubt she was very happy and they were making her laugh.

Making faces

Google.

We have all found pictures of us when we were babies or pictures of our parents and grandparents. Older ones also make funny faces while they are photographed.

Smiling to the camera

Google.

These two little sisters show their genuine smiles to the cameras before the family photography. At least they do not mind having the same hair and a very similar outfit.

A very genuine gesture

Google.

Mother and daughter showing their appreciation before being photographed. Apparently they had a very good relationship.

Unforgettable holidays

Google.

Nothing better than going to the beach on vacations and enjoying the sun with incredible people and unique moments. Hopefully it was not that uncomfortable for the person who was on the floor.

Everyone in his place!

Google.

This image is a bit curious, they seem to agree to be in the right place to create a very interesting visual effect and they achieved it.

A walk in the park

Google.

There is nothing more de-stressing and refreshing than a bike ride through the park. Surely she had a lot of balance to ride with her arms crossed that calm and smiling.

A happy couple

Google.

This couple could not help joking and smiling during their photo shoot to remember their love and show it to their grandchildren.

Ready to dance

Google.

If we thought that the old holidays were boring, this photograph shows us the opposite. It even looks like they are dancing Thriller.

Beautiful

Google.

These three young men decided to joke a little and dress as ladies and even pose for the picture. Surely they did not stop laughing seconds later.

A snow lady

Google.

Apparently at that time not only snowmen were fashionable, that snow lady seems almost unreal.

She is not floating

Google.

But she is jumping rope. This was one of the most popular games of that time, they were really good at tricks.
