NASA has posted an eerie new photo of Mars to Instagram that has left space fans and astronomy nerds baffled.The so-called Airy Crater looks almost like wrinkled skin or something from the 'Alien' movies thanks to its creepy ridges and scale.

The incredible high-resolution photograph was taken by NASA's high tech Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.NASA believes that the Martian crater pictured in the post represents 0 degree longitude on Mars, the halfway point between east and west similar to the Greenwich Meridian line on Earth.However, the unusual appearance of the crater has caused some controversy among NASA's followers.One Instagram user said "it looks like a giant eyeball watching the galaxy" while another speculated that it "looks like water was in there some point.

Bottom of it looks like the aftermath of a dried puddle."One person even thinks it could be proof of alien life. Instagram user Illaria Verrocchio said: "The worm like structure inside the crater looks very creepy to me as I see them as an elongated worm like body with two arms extending at one end and the others also look the same.

Looks like creatures on Mars." The image was released just as NASA is intensifying its research efforts on Mars, ahead of a bid by Elon Musk and SpaceX to get humans on the red planet within the next few decades.
