In reality, what we see are ridges separated by a valley, a natural feature that might have been formed as a result of some tectonic process, something that no longer happens on Mars. Snapped by the HiRISE camera and showing a place called Ius Chasma in Vallis Marineris, the pic reveals a face tilted to the left, with two uneven eyes, with the left one boasting a long scar underneath, a small nose, and no mouth. If you look closely, it appears as if the surface of Mars is littered with hundreds of oddly familiar looking trees. This is why you’ll probably forgive yourself for seeing another one in the image we have here. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) is a camera aboard the Mars. One of them showed a location on the planet that looked like an “enormous head nearly two miles from end to end.” And those are NASA’s words.ĭespite scientists proving since then, it was all a trick of light and shadow in “just another Martian mesa,” the myth of the Martian face endures to this day. The image above is from the Marte Vallis region of Mars and nicely shows some mass wasting on the hillslopes. Back in the 1980s, a spacecraft called Viking 1 traveled to Mars and started snapping photos of the place. HiRISE is the most powerful camera ever sent to another planet. 6 and 11 by the HiRISE camera onboard NASAs Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The most famous such (let’s call it) structure is called exactly that, the Face on Mars. Seasonal avalanches in the north polar layered deposits. The InSight spacecraft, its head shield and its parachute were imaged on Dec.
For some reason, we humans seem to believe that if a civilization once existed (or visited) the Red Planet, proof of their passage can be found in remnants of structures that resemble that of a humanoid face.
