Social media users this week have been fawning over an alleged “crab” monster found on a picture taken on the surface of Mars.

The photo was snapped by the NASA Curiosity rover in July. It was later posted on Facebook group Journey to the Surface of the Mars. Some users claimed it is a crab or a “facehugger” creature from the “Alien” movie franchise.
