Pictured: An Ancient Martian?

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This highly magnified image shows a tiny, tube-like form, less than a hundredth the width of a human hair. Many scientists believe it might be a fossil of a simple Martian organism that lived over 3.6 billion years ago. If true, this ancient Martian was found in a meteorite that was launched from Mars and eventually landed on Earth.
