Mysterious Face Found on Mars?

The mystery of the face on Mars, true or false? The face on Mars is just a mesa landform. This is proven by Nasa's Mars Global Surveyor when it took a picture of it with a camera that had a pixel span of 1.56 meters.

Some may disagree with this because they believe scientist are hiding this "consiracy theory" from them. An evidence to prove that their is

life on Mars.

However, after reading this prompt your opinion may change.

First, it is just a landform because of all the evidence's collected from the article. In paragraph 12, it clearly states that "What the picture actually show is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa". In 1976 the picture looked like it was a face of a human becuase of the camera's quality. The camera's from 1976 to now have evolved. " Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo". This shows that the quality of the pictures differences. Last, if scientist were to really hide this "conspiracy thoery" from us it wouldn't make a difference. In fact NASA would be benifiting from it becuase how it would appear in news, radio talk shows, books, etc. Paragraph 7

" There was no alien monument after all".

Next, now some believe that this conspiracy theory is a secret hidden from us by NASA. They think the face is evidence to prove life on Mars. This is because in paragraph 8 it states that " The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian lattitude where it was winter in April '98, a cloudy time of year on the Red Planet". They believe that this may have caused the face to be hidden in the clouds. Also another reason they may believe it is a face is becuase they might have seen something that had false information on the web. This might be becuase in the text it states that " The "Face on Mars" has since become a pop icon".

Last but not least, now that you've read this prompt is the face on Mars really a face? The face turns out to be just a landform on Mars. The pictures from 1976 were unclear tooken with a camera that had 43 meters per pixel. Then in 2001, NASA retook the picture with a camera with that had 3 times bigger pixels than the one from 1976. Last, the picture was a big evidence to the people that it was just a natural landform.
