PLASTIC ON MARS?
Issues with the claim that this would be a piece of plastic fallen of the MSL Curiosity.
My counter claims:
- Plastic does not survive the descend through the atmosphere. It would instantly melt.
- NASA would not allow pieces of anything to remain on the space craft before take-off, as this could obviously damage the space-craft. Imagine this were a piece of scrap metal overlooked by inspection. No matter how small, any piece could mean the end of the mission due to the velocity of an impact. Therefore multiple thorough inspections before launch are mandatory, and any piece of crap would have been removed from the craft, period.
- If this were a piece of plastic essential to the functioning of the craft, the robot would have experienced problems by now.

Picture of the century?
This is the (slightly) HDR version of "Big City on Mars", which sheds a little more light on the structures in the ill-illuminated parts of the city!

Soplo del Banco Puma by Pablo Amaringo
The banco puma is a master shaman who transforms himself into a puma to go hunting or to hide from an enemy. In the old days when people in the Ucayali region did not have fire arms to kill large animals, the banco puma would use his ability to bring back food for his family. <p>
When the shaman transforms himself into a puma he acquires its attributes; in particular a keen sense of smell, and sinchi-ňahui (strong eyes) which can mesmerise an enemy. A banco puma is a skilled healer with great knowledge of medicinal plants.
