April 5, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and His Mars Orbiter Camera team shot a picture ten times sharper then the original photos. Revealing that it was just a natural landform. April 8, 2001, Malin and his team took an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute Maximum resolution. Did you know that you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size meaning that if there were objects on the ground we could tell what they were.
