Gaze in wonder at The Face of Mars
Gaze in wonder at The Face of Mars
LONDON - THE European Space Agency (ESA) has photographed The Face - the main feature on the surface of Mars. The mountain, which resembles a human head with eyes, mouth and nostrils, was first photographed by the US Viking 1 Orbiter in 1976. It stirred up talk of conspiracy theories, as people claimed that the mountain was evidence of an ancient Martian civilisation. The new images were taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on board ESA's Mars Express this July, the BBC News reported.Scientists have long experienced difficulties in capturing a decent shot of the area in the mid-northern latitudes referred to as Cydonia. The Mars Express was either at too high an altitude when passing by or its view was affected by dust and haze in the atmosphere.The agency processed the shots and produced perspective images which give the viewer the impression they are flying over the surface of The Face. "These images of Cydonia on Mars are truly spectacular," said Dr Agustin Chicarro, project scientist for the ESA mission. "They not only provide a completely fresh and detailed view of an area famous to fans of space myths worldwide, but also provide an impressive close-up over an area of great interest for planetary geologists."

??????!!!!Dear mrable kok where did you find all this news from. It is very interesting gets intern you are in sit！！！!!!!!!!!!!
I belive aliens in Mars because, the surface of Mars might be the alien's bed.
I think mars don't have life because Mars don't have air but,it have red dust instead
I do not believe in alien and I also do not believe that there is life in mars because I never go to mars before.
I don`t think that the Mars got aliens because it is a fake story about aliens.I think got some strange plants on Mars because I have read my English textbook.I don`t know much about Mars.Hey,Mr Abel Kok,do you know Venus?I have read my textbook.It says that Venus has poisonous air on the surface.Then do you think that`s real?And also Venus is the closest planet to panet Earth.Do you think that`s true???????
