It was right at the limit of resolution, and its not clear if it was just a chance alignment of shadows that looked like a perfect square nestled in a perfect equilateral triangle, (a building surrounded by a wall?) or if it was just an accidental artifact or optical illusion of no physical significance. Another mystery...It'll be a long time before we go there again. And there was no additional information, like scale, or an alternate perspective to help make sense of the "object". the article was mostly about the Gorilla Effect, but I was really interested in the odd feature in the imagery.

Maybe its a cut and paste error? Here's an alternate way to do it: Highlight the URL in my post with a left click Right-click and select the "go to" option. Its one extra step for you, but it makes it easier for the poster than the "underline" trick. I can never remember the command for automatic "link to", so I have it written down in my "notes" file. When I want to "link to" automatically, I have to find and open the notes file, copy and paste the command line into my post, then copy and paste the url and text strings into the empty slots in the command line. Sometimes I get lazy and don't bother, or I do it and make a typo anyway. https://www.astrobio.net/also-in-news/a-cosmic-gorilla-effect-could-blind-the-detection-of-aliens/
