"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, and show once more the high capability of the Mars Express camera."Ĭydonia is located in the Arabia Terra region on Mars and belongs to the transition zone between the southern highlands and the northern plains of Mars. "These images of the Cydonia region on Mars are truly spectacular," said Dr Agustin Chicarro, ESA Mars Express Project Scientist. Cydonia lies at approximately 40.75° North and 350.54° East. The data were gathered during orbit 3253 over the Cydonia region, with a ground resolution of approximately 13.7 metres per pixel.
Face of mars cydonia series#
At this time I was thinking someone NOT really wanted us to see this 'HEAD'! But look at all it offers us all to see in it's details.After multiple attempts to image the Cydonia region from April 2004 until July 2006 were frustrated by altitude and atmospheric dust and haze, the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board Mars Express finally obtained, on 22 July, a series of images that show the famous 'face' on Mars in unprecedented detail. It was not until May of 2001 when we were given another face image from Mars Global Surveyor, but this time, it was an above viewing angle to the 'HEAD'! Yet NOT the whole 'HEAD'! But a swath cut across it. Yet I can still even at this angle, I can still see clearly a face! Though many were not happy with this, & many were also not seeing a face at all. But that is me in my research & study of the various images over the years of the 'HEAD'. Many were disappointed at this but I found it useful & shows things that the above view does not show, for some reason or other.
This helps but at the same time not helped, as what was expected was a view of the 'HEAD' from an above point of view & not an angle. But what is interesting in this 1998 Face release, it appears to have been taken from an angle. There was also controversy & conspiracy allegations even over the release of this image. It was not until the Mars Odyssey Mission after 2001, that we have gotten better views of the Face of Cydonia that is better than the resolution of Viking images showing the 'HEAD'. So as I said, we will instead look at the imagery of this 'HEAD' over the ensuing years since 1976 until today by various Mars Missions imagery, to show that this feature still appears to us as it did back then, as looking like a 'HEAD' with a Face! I just wanted to explain myself somewhat as to why I am not getting into explaining the so called REAL history of this 'HEAD' find on this page. Implicating that not only is this a 'HEAD' showing a Face, but that this 'HEAD' is NOT only NOT alone, but it is NOT even lonely! Which leads us into the conspiracy areas to what we see, & not see, on Mars.īut we are jumping ahead. The truth of what NASA really knows & what NASA really sees in their images, & raises questions also about what they also see & have of Mars image data that the public does not & is also not aware of. I believe that what the public was told is a cover story to the truth. This falls into the reasoning I have regards to the so called REAL history of this 'HEAD' finding by NASA, & what I believe to be a POLICY in force to which NASA will never admit to it's artificiality aspects to this 'HEAD'. Even though as we all shall see that over the years as available imagery was acquired that still shows that this 'HEAD' is still looking to be appearing as a 'HEAD'! Despite the NASA official policy claim mind you.
