    If that's a real image from one of the Mars rovers then I think it helps to understand the process. The images are transmitted from Mars pixel by pixel and then reassembled by a computer on Earth. There are all kinds of ways for things to go wrong in the process.

    To me it makes sense that they they retransmitted or reprocessed the image and posted the corrected version - but I'm still not understanding what you think is going on, so maybe I'm missing the point.

      The point was...
      There was a picture posted on the nasa website from Mars with a big, black square in the middle. It was strange. Then nasa changed the picture on the website. I never said anything was up. I thought it was interesting that the picture looked like it did.
      So, I started is thread at least six hours before they changed the picture.

                ^^^ Sometimes my Grandma puts her finger in front of the lens, maybe that's what happened.

                  Either that or it's a hair on the lens.

                    I think their printer ran out of the right color ink, and just used black...

                      The comic strip Argyle Sweater explained what happened. NASA ran over Marvin Martian.
