Question

Hi NASA, I recently came to know that some of the space telescope's captured alien's photos, like some lady running on a planet mars...is that true....the photos are taken by NASA ROVER...This is really intresting to know...can you tell me about this...

The Hubble Space Telescope has never taken a photo of aliens, and neither have any of our planetary spacecraft such as the current Mars rovers and orbiters. I don’t know what you mean by the phrase "came to know about", but it sounds as if you have been taken in by the fake photos and stories that appeared regularly in tabloids on supermarket check stands — although most of the fiction-printing tabloids have gone out of business lately. Maybe you have been looking at the successors of these tabloids on the Internet. In any case, I can assure you that any claims that NASA has photographed an alien are lies. Perhaps you have also seen the amusing photo of a lump of soil that looks like a tiny statue of a woman — reminding me of the famous little mermaid statue in Copenhagen harbor. If you really think this is a photo of an alien woman, all I can advise is "lighten up"!
