NASA's Curiosity rover recently shared a picture of a 'doorway' on Mars, and as is usually the case with these things, many people are wondering how the strange object came to be. Although it's a minuscule speck compared to the entirety of the universe, our Solar System is home to all kinds of mysteries. Jupiter has a giant storm that's been raging on for hundreds of years. Saturn's intricate ring system is unlike any of its neighboring planets. Uranus is the only planet in the Solar System to spin on its side.
And, of course, there's Mars. While it may not have record-breaking storms or a giant ring system, Mars stands out for its own reasons. It's one of the closest planets to Earth, was once home to ancient lakes, and has recorded evidence of carbon on the planet — one of the key building blocks for life. Scientists have yet to confirm if life ever did (or still does) exist on Mars, but it's something humans are repeatedly trying to find out.

As you might expect, sharing thousands upon thousands of photos of an alien world often turns up peculiar results. NASA's rovers have spotted rock formations that look like spaceships, worms, and even giant frogs. Most recently, the internet is raving over a new Curiosity photo that appears to reveal an alien 'doorway' on Mars.
At first glance, the object above really does look like a doorway. It's nestled
