NASA photo captures strange bright light coming out of Mars

A NASA camera on Mars has captured what appears to be artificial light emanating outward from the planet's surface.

The photo, beamed millions of miles from Mars to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., was taken last week, apparently by one of two NASA rovers on the red planet.

Although the space agency hasn't issued any official statement yet about the phenomenon, bloggers and NASA enthusiasts have started chiming in.

2. The image was taken by the right-hand navigation camera

... which is a stereo system, but the left-hand camera doesn't show the spot.

It doesn't really look like an "artificial light emanating outward" unless there's some thick fog hanging right over that spot.
