Steve Martin, 56, is convinced he has spotted a penguin lurking behind a rock on the planet 54.6 million kilometers away from Earth. The keen myth-buster from Kent had been trailing through years of footage provided by the space agency and first thought it he had found an “extra-terrestrial” being. However on closer inspection it appears to be the head of the famous black-and-white flightless bird peaking out from behind a giant rock, millions of miles away from its habitual home.
Mr Martin told The Sun: “I’ve always thought there was life on Mars and now I think I might have proved it.
“I have spent hours looking at Nasa images but I never thought I would find a penguin.
"I don’t know how it got up there but I hope Nasa carefully study the picture and can work out how and why.”
