The 'Martian house' video causes fever

A self-proclaimed "astronaut on the spot" claims to discover a base on Mars planet via a satellite map. He thought that the base was built by aliens.

The YouTube video uploaded by David Martines has collected over 850,000 views since yesterday. He argued that the cylindrical architectural block that he enlarged from satellite imagery could very well be created as a residence. In the video, Martines said he speculated that someone was living in the area or used to live there.

He named this architectural block " Bio Station Alpha ".

However, experts say this image was created by cosmic energy entering the camera and not the aliens.

" It's like imaginary lines created by cosmic rays , " Alfred McEwen, a planetary geographer at Arizon University, told Space.com.

Cosmic rays, emitted by the sun and other stars, cannot reach the earth by being blocked by the atmosphere.

" But with pictures taken outside the atmosphere, such as this image taken from satellites orbiting the orbit, it's easy to see the cosmic rays coming in. You can see them in optical images and infrared ".
