Curiosity rover has been up there 61 days and was in the middle of a scooping test. they test the chemicals and minerals to see if there was a chance the soil could have supported life. then they spot something shinily and small. show that picture again if you would. and they think they think that this might be actually a piece of curiosity. a small piece of metallic tape that might have fallen off. an earring from the thing. there are a lot of theories online thinking this could be some other type of alien thing. but we talked to nasa and they believe this is a piece of the rover. but here is the deal. they don t want to do any more that scooping experiment because if rover picks it up and it gets in the machinery and it could mess up the entire system. everything is on hold until
