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."

Yes folks, if you leave a big pile of compost outdoors long enough, it will turn into a self-focusing optical device connected to a gigantic interconnected system of neurons capable of inventing a digital watch. Thank you.
Business isn't willing to pay for products, innovation and careers, so we get brands, mortgage commercials and layoffs.
"I hate George W.?" That's a very American thing to say, don't you think? Just add something about stolen elections or killing babies and you'll be speaking Democrat.
