There's actually less to the "face on Mars" than meets the eye, or more specifically, the camera technology of twenty years ago.

Wait for the animation...

Not really. The "newer" shot has been significantly more fiddled with using computer processing techniques.

The main difference between the two shots is that in the earlier shot, "The Face" is made up of about three dozen pixels. The Face on Mars is indeed an artifact, but it is merely the artifact of the Viking orbiter camera resolution.
