Face on Mars. Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) space- craft image of the "face on Mars" feature in the Cydonia region. This eroded mesa-like land formation is 1.5 kilometres across. When an image of this feature was first taken by Viking 1 in 1976,it appeared remarkably like a human head with shadows giving the illusion of eyes,nose and a mouth. Taken with the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on the MGS in 5 April 1998,it's true form is visible. The spacecraft was 444km from the object,and the image has a resolution of 4.3 metres per pixel making it a ten times higher resolution than the Viking 1 image | |
