No matter what, it is an optical glitch. It appears in the image from the Right camera, but not in the image from the Left camera. It could be a group of dead pixels. But it is not real, or the Left camera would see it, too.
Cosmic rays hitting computers and causing glitches happens all the time. What happens is a single bit in RAM will flip from a 1 to 0 or a 0 to 1. Most all computers have error correcting hardware and software, and computers outside Earth's magnetosphere have even more error correcting built into them.
Interesting. and if you zoom in you can see a bird. Do you need to see more pictures of flys, mice, or Devon island on "Mars". Not hard to find nowadays.

Yea especially since its core is dead and thus the planet lacks a magnetic field.
