"Umasking the Face on Mars"

If I was a scientist at NASA discussing the Face with someone who thinks it was created by aliens I would tell them that it is the way it forms over a period of time that makes it looks like aliens did it. I would be using paragraphs 2-3 and 10-12 to support my reasoning.

In paragraph 3 it states that "A few days later NASA unveiled the image for all to see. The caption noted a "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars." That is one reason why it supports my reasoning.

In paragraph 2 it states that "There must have been a degree of surprise among mission controllers back at the Jet Propulsion Lab when the face appeared on their monitors. But the sensation was short lived. Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh." That's another reason why I picked this paragraph to be in my writing because It tells you the features and what it looks like.

In paragraph 10 it states that "On April 8, 2001-a cloudless summer day in Cydonia-Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second like. "We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view," said Garvin. " Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution." Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo." That's another reason why I also picked this one to talk to you about because it is a fun thing to talk about when it comes to this subject.

In paragraph 11 it states that "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size," he added. "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" That's another reason why aliens did make it made itself.

In paragraph 12 it states that "What the picture actually shows it the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West. "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho," says Garvin. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars." That is the very last reason why aliens did not make that face the planet made it by its own landforms.

In conclusion aliens did not make the face the planet landforms do and it does it all around the American West.
