Claim: Video showing an idol of Lord Ganesha discovered by NASA scientists on Mars.
Fact-check: No evidence to suggest that NASA has found an idol of Lord Ganesha on Mars - FACTLY
Verdict: there is no evidence to support the claim that nasa scientists have discovered an idol of lord ganesha on mars. this viral video was created by editing an image released by nasa in august 2023, which was captured by the mars curiosity rover in july 2023. similar claims have previously gone viral, alleging that nasa's curiosity rover captured images of a 'buddha' and a 'dark lady' on mars. however, nasa has made no official announcement regarding these claims. in fact, all these images are purely interpretative, with some people mistakenly identifying shapes in the nasa images as resembling a lord ganesha statue, a buddha statue, or a lady. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
