Curiosity Rover Takes Photo Of Strange Looking 'Floating Spoon' On Mars

An image of what appears to be a floating spoon on the surface of Mars was captured by NASA's Curiosity Rover, causing many people on the internet to speculate what the object might actually be.

The photograph was taken by Curiosity during its routine survey of the red planet's surface on Aug. 30. It shows a delicate geological formation that resembles a spoon made of rock that is floating in mid-air. The strange object is even shown to cast a narrow shadow on the red ground below it.

According to reports, the so-called floating spoon was first spotted by a user on the message board named Unmanned Spaceflight which is moderated by the Planetary Society.
