Face on Mars Gets a Make-Over

Alien54 writes "ESA's Mars Express has obtained images of the Cydonia region, site of the famous 'Face on Mars.' using the High Resolution Stereo Camera. After multiple attempts to image the Cydonia region from April 2004 until July 2006 were frustrated by altitude and atmospheric dust and haze, the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board Mars Express finally obtained, on 22 July, a series of images that show the famous 'face' on Mars in unprecedented detail, with a ground resolution of approximately 13.7 metres per pixel."

A face huh?

If that's meant to look like a face, it's a hella ugly one.

Thats a very broad brush :o)

Go on, say something in European.

Look closely at this image of cydonia. Now look closely at the torso on this image, that's proof positive that intelligent aliens with hyperdrive technology have travelled through this galaxy. For the doubters, here's a larger image. I just can't believe that world governments have managed to keep the truth covered up for so long!

The world needs to know!

When looked at from a particular angle, with particular lighting, then yes, it can look like a human face. But pictures shown from other angles or with different lighting don't look anything like a human face.

Heck, if you get the lighting right and go from just-so an angle, even Keith Richards seems to have a human face.
