A man feels NASA is keeping information from the public about a recently discovered jelly donut rock and has filed a lawsuit against the agency in United States District Court The Sky Valley Chronicle reported.
"NASA's rover team inexplicably failed to perform the basic demands of science, which is research, look again...the refusal to release high-resolution photos is inexplicable, recklessly negligent and bizarre," Rhawn Joseph, a neuroscientist-astrobiologist said in his court filing according to The Chronicle.
"The refusal to take close-up photos from various angles, the refusal to take microscopic images of the specimen, the refusal to release high-resolution photos is inexplicable, recklessly negligent and bizarre," Joseph said in the filing The Chronicle reported.
"Any intelligent adult, adolescent, child, chimpanzee, monkey, dog or rodent with even a modicum of curiosity would approach, investigate and closely examine a bowl-shaped structure which appears just a few feet in front of them when 12 days earlier they hadn't noticed it," his petition said. "But not NASA and its rover team who have refused to take even a single close-up photo." Joseph in the filing The Chronicle reported.
Joseph wants NASA to photograph different parts of the rock, and do a full examination, and then tell the public what they found The Chronicle reported.
NASA released an image of the rock in a photo, which previously did not have the rock in it twelve days earlier The Chronicle reported.
The Rover found the rock a couple feet in front of it January Discovery News reported.
NASA's second rover on the red planet had a very long journey on the red planet, landing last August to begin taking in its air and further investigating its certain aspects BBC News reported.
The new findings include two kinds of argon gas in argon 36, and argon 38. Curiosity was able to find these through its Sample Analysis at Mars tool (SAM) the press release reported.
