NASA hasn’t confirmed that this is a photo of an alien crab, which is exactly what they’d do if it were an alien crab that they uploaded accidentally and didn’t want us to know about. It’s also what they would do if they had uploaded a picture of a rock formation that looked a little bit like a crab.

Oh, fine. Be that way.
