text: Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution. Each pixel in the 2001 iage spans 1.56 meters. What the picture actually shows is the the Matian Equivalent of a butte or mesa-- landforms common around the American West. So I proved to my partmer that is not an alien face on Mars it is a landform. He was kind of sad but he'll get over it.   You may have thought the Face was created by aliens. It could be a possibility, but think of the research and observations of the scientists. You can't just predict something and think of a conclusion. You must go through a process of research and examinations. The scientists researched and examined the Face and was just another Martian mesa that was around Cydonia.
