The photos, released by NASA, were taken by a rover vehicle on the red planet. NASA asked social media users what they thought the pair of rocks looked like, with many saying they looked like a part of a crab.

NASA intends to put humans on Mars somewhere between the late 2030s and early 2040s, paving the way for further space travel. The agency laid out a rough outline for its first human mission to Mars in 2022, in which it identified "50 points falling under four overarching categories of exploration, including transportation and habitation; Moon and Mars infrastructure; operations; and science."
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said that he expects his company to put humans on Mars within the next decade.
