I am a scientist at NASA. I am argueing with someone who thinks that the face on Mars was created by aliens. I will provide simple facts that everyone will be able to understand and hopefully help you see that the face on Mars is nothing but a landfom created by natural causes.

When the first picyure of the "Face" came out on the Viking 1, the small indents and the shadow angle showed what looked like a human face but was actually just one of the many mounds that for there. The United Staes actually has mounds of lava that had formed NATURALY in Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.

Many people believe that if it is used for advortizement that is is a real true fact and they can believe that what ever is on that buildboard or sign on the highway that has had or is going to happen. The Face of Mars has been used for marketing for over 25 years so it would sell more item to the population and the buisness CEO's would make more money.

People also believe in one picture on a cloudy day that they could see markings on the mound that would show that Martians have been and built the Face, but on a cloudlaess summer day in 2001 we captured a picture of the mound with our new and improved cameras that spans 1.5 meters compared to the 43 meter camera that the Viking used. The newer camera can discren things in a digital image 3 times bigger that the pixel size,so we could see if there was anything on the mound that would show living things on the planet Mars
