A viral article that says NASA’s Curiosity Rover discovered a “fish fossil” on Mars isn’t true.
It was posted on a fake webiste called MSNBC.website (not the real MSNBC site) before it was taken down.
“Scientists believe the images, which seem to show the fossilized remains of a fish-like creature, are definitive proof of the Red Planet’s supported life from millions of years ago,” it reads. NASA officials have named the fish-like fossil, ‘The Roman Red Fish,’ after Mars, the Roman god of war and the planet’s nickname “Red Planet. The awesome discovery is the most significant proof of life since the Mars rover’s analyzation of rocks back in March that concluded Mars was capable of supporting life in the distant past, according to scientists.”
