Face on Mars or Rocky Hill? New Photo Reveals Truth
FOX News ^ | 7/30/2010 | FOX News

A new image just released by NASA confirms what the space agency has said all along: That's no face on Mars. It's just a rocky mesa.

In 1976, NASA's Viking space craft first captured the stunning picture of the area, showing what clearly looked like a face on the surface of Mars.

Conspiracy theorists went bonkers, describing the image as clear proof both that Martians existed and that NASA and the government were aware of their existence.

The new image comes from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera (HiRISE) on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a multipurpose satellite designed to explore the Red planet from orbit. In 2007, the camera captured this new picture of the eroded mesa made famous by its similarity to a human face.

The picture comparison is not illustrative of the point. They sure don’t look the same.

Two different scales ?

Two different places ?

I would say some form of plant species. But the geniuses at NASA will tell you they are crystalline forms that have been exposed by winds blowing the detritus away from them once buried in loose Martian dirt/snow.

“I wonder what these are on Mars?”

Answer: extremely large broccoli. The martians won’t eat them, say they taste horrible.

After losing the title to Evander Holyfield he was never the same. I thought he retired.

Looks like little bikini clad martians running around under the palm trees.

Those two photographs don’t look at all like they are the same location. None of the same topography or landmarks.

The Martians have bulldozed the image so as not to invite Earthpeople from coming. They watch CNN.

You can’t fool me, I saw the movie! There is a holographic Martian inside just waiting for the right access code!
