NASA spotted on Mars a tiny door that is unlikely to be used by any of us.
The space agency gave more information about the rock feature on the Red Planet in a post this week and said the opening in the side of Mount Sharp is about 12 inches tall and 16 inches wide.
The initial imagine was captured using the Mast cam, and the new post stitched together more than 100 images into a panorama that shows much more detail. NASA said that the panorama is processed to make it look like it would look to the human eye under normal daytime conditions.
It has been studying the surface of Mars for more than a decade, but it may not be enough.
According to the company, they want to put boots on Mars within the next decade, and just this week NASA showed off its plans for a 30-day crewed expedition to the Red Planet. Two astronauts would go down to the surface of Mars to get supplies before they reach the surface. The proposed 25-ton Mars supply lander isn't so difficult to image because both Boeing and SpaceX make cargo-carrying craft that have since made it into space and docked to the International Space Station.
Someday astronauts will be able to laugh at the small Mars door in person.
According to reports, the company paid $250,000 to silence sexual harassment allegations against Musk.
