New photos captured by NASA's Curiosity rover show that Mars' giant, spiderweb-like "boxwork" features are covered in tiny, never-before-seen nodules that bear a striking resemblance to arachnid eggs. And researchers are struggling to explain them.

      Usually when data collection happens, scientist cannot quite explain it for some time, until they can.

      This is really pure sensationalism, adds zero information to the article.

    I see nothing that remotely looks like a spider web and the spider egg rocks look like plenty of rocks here on earth. This article stinks.
