Martian 'Happy Face' Crater
Astroturtle writes "The two pictures shown here are taken from the same daily global image mosaic (the only difference is that each was processed slightly differently). The pictures show Galle Crater, informally known as 'Happy Face,' as it appeared in early southern winter."
...some people will believe that aliens made this face a long time ago and some other stupid stuff. If aliens wanted to make something that looked like us, so we can see it and say "Wow aliens really do exist" they'd make somthing way more complex than a huge crater with two hills for eyes and a long hill for a mouth. They'd make something like Mount Rushmore, but on a much grander scale. Not a few natural things that form together to make a shape a 3 year old would draw. Or they'd leave giant complex geometric shapes. If they found a huge triangle, split down the middle to make two triangles, where one is split down the middle to make two more triangles, where one is split... till it forms a hundred small triangles or so, I'd deffinitely believe that aliens left some soft of symbols for us to find proving that they'd exist. Or maybe if there were crop circles on mars (dust circles?) I'd deffinitely believe. But until huge (complex, and not something that would occur naturally) alien symbols are left behind, on some planet other than our own, I'll keep believing that aliens exist but don't want to bother contacting us (or don't have the technology.)
