A scientist known as Space Tiger King has claimed that strange puffball-like rocks on Mars are actually mushrooms. Microbiologist Dr Xinli Wei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, astrophysicist Dr Rudolph Schild from Harvard Smithsonian and Dr Rhawn Gabriel Joseph aka Space Tiger King had made the claim after studying the images snapped by NASA’s Curiosity rover on the Red Planet or Mars.
Their study which has been met with skepticism from the scientific community argues that NASA had called rocks are actually fungus-like specimens growing in the Martian landscape. Where the trio claimed that these mushrooms seem to shrink appear and disappear over a period of days weeks and months.
In April 2020, Armstrong and Joseph released a similar study on Research Gate that also claimed mushrooms were growing on Mars. Their wild claim of life on Mars was controversial in the scientific community and not exactly helping their credibility is Joseph’s ‘Space Tiger King’ nickname which appears to have been inspired by his personal brainmind.com website which shows him posing with oversized sunglasses in front of a badly photoshopped space-themed background. The 90s-style picture does bring to mind the flamboyant zoo owner Joseph Maldonado-Passage whose documentary gripped the nation last year.
In the latest study, Joseph and his team insist they have seen proof of life on the Red Planet and included over 40 images in the latest study that supports their claims.
