Odd Mars ‘Flower’ And Snakelike Formation Spied By NASA’s Curiosity Rover [Video]

Some new pictures have surfaced from NASA's curiosity rover that are causing a little stir over an odd formation that some have dubbed a "flower" embedded in a Martian rock. The rover has also found a snake-like rock formation winding across the Red Planet's surface.

So, what IS this? A piece of plastic from the rover? Or, a strange space alien clear flower? And, can you cook it with rice?
